escape from nightmare game

Shi Chen's words were not clearly stated, but after thinking about it carefully, the old man naturally heard the deep meaning.

Not to mention Shi Chen, Wu Gang died suddenly, and some of the old people suspected that there was something wrong with the proprietress, or that there was a hunter with good acting skills who took the opportunity to mix with newcomers or even old people. It might be that easy to get.

When going out, everyone's attitude was obviously not as united as before.

All kinds of atmospheres are undercurrents and turbulent, mutual suspicion, and the atmosphere in the familiar world is better.

Before Shi Chen went out, he turned his head and saw the proprietress, hiding in the dark room, her eyes were black and white, gloomy eyes came out from the darkness, she looked at them expressionlessly, those unfocused eyes suddenly stopped at Shi Chen. On Chen's body, he waved at him.

"Look, is your life too long first?" Wen Xue urged, "Hurry up, I don't know when it will start to rain this morning."

Shi Chen walked outside the door and looked at the hotel again, "This proprietress is a bit weird."

"No matter how weird it is, don't act rashly. We don't know how to wake up." Wen Xue reminded.

"I'm just talking, boyfriend, you don't understand me too much." Shi Chen bumped into Wen Xue childishly, compared to Cao Zhen, he looked more like a brat.

There are a lot of people on the main road. If you want to walk along the main road, it is easy to bump into others, and you will inevitably be negligent.Afraid of being bewitched in the dark, they took a shortcut to the Blackwater River, and saw Daqu and Xiaoluo squatting there, as if they were studying rock jumping.

The weather was cloudy, and the Heishui River was glowing with black water, and the river water slapped the banks from time to time.

Daqu acted cautiously, he and Xiao Luo didn't dare to go to the river rashly.

Her face was gloomy, and she was discussing things with Xiao Luo, the deeper the discussion, the worse and uglier their expressions became.

"What's wrong with jumping off the rock?" Shi Chen walked over and asked, not treating himself as an outsider at all.

Daqu has been peeping in the group for a long time, she knows Shi Chen's character quite well, and doesn't care about Shi Chen's familiar character, she points to the bottom of the jumping rock.

Wen Xue handed Cao Zhen over to Xiao Luo for temporary care, and walked to the bank to take a closer look. There was a scale with the same spacing under the jumping rock, which should be used to record the height of the river. The water level is relatively low now, and it is still far away from the fullness to the shore. There are five scales.

"Has the water level risen?" Shi Chen asked, without waiting for anyone to answer, he said directly: "It seems that the water in the Heishui River must not be touched."

Daqu nodded and said, "As time approaches the sixth day, the water level will get higher and higher, and it is estimated that the entire ancient city will be flooded by then."

Wen Xue saw that there were a large number of people coming and going on the rock jumping, and they had to be very careful when crossing the shore, so he entrusted Cao Zhen to Daqu to take care of him for a while, Daqu did not refuse, and asked the two of them to be careful when crossing the river. in the river.

After Wen Xue and Shi Chen crossed the river, they found that the Internet celebrity sister Hua was here, but they were not looking for clues, they just stayed by the river and posed for pictures.

"Leave them alone." Wen Xue grabbed Shi Chen's arm, "Leave them alone, if you listen to advice, you won't take pictures here either."

The temple on the mountain is the highest place in the ancient city, with a thriving population and many believers coming and going. The area of ​​the temple is not large, and there is only one temple to guard there. The statues enshrined in it are not the usual ones. Not ghosts either.Behind the temple is an undeveloped forest, overgrown with weeds, and no one has smoked it.

There is only one building in the temple, and the main hall is full of faithful men and women. You can see through the hall at a glance. Except for the back of the god statue, there is no way to check, and there are no problems in other places.

"Are the two tourists?" Someone suddenly spoke up behind them.

Shi Chen heard a voice behind him, shook his shoulders, and hid behind Wen Xue.

The old man who came to greet them was an old man, about seven or eighty years old, with wrinkled face and thinning hair.

Seeing the vigilance of the two, Miao Zhu said with a smile: "I am Miao Zhu here, and I rarely see foreigners, and ordinary tourists are not interested in this."

"There were a lot of people going up the mountain, so we thought there were some tourist attractions here, so we came up to have a look." Shi Chen said with a smile, "I didn't expect it to be a temple. By the way, are there local gods enshrined here? We haven't seen them outside." Pass."

Miao Zhu looked back and said, "Yes, our name is Heishui Ancient City, and this is the river god here."

Shi Chen twitched his eyebrows when he heard the word "river god", recalling the previous nightmare, he sneered, "There used to be no ceremony to worship the river god here, right?"

"Hey, how did this benefactor know?" Miao Zhu was very surprised, and looked at Shi Chen in amazement: "This happened 300 years ago, because it rained all the year round in the ancient city of Heishui, so the river often swelled across the river bank and submerged the ancient city , causing floods. Later, people built a temple here, offering sacrifices to the river god every year. It is strange to say that the flood never happened again after that.”

Wen Xue didn't believe half a word of this kind of legend, and suppressed his snort and disdain. Wen Xue asked again: "What about now? Does such a thing happen?"

Miao Zhu waved his hand and said, "It's long gone. Since the dam was built upstream, it will be fine."

He frowned and hesitated for a moment, then said with some concern: "It's just that this year is a bit strange, the rain is heavier than in previous years, I hope nothing will happen."

Miao Zhu is different from many NPCs they have come into contact with in their dreams. They are very talkative and always answer their questions.

Shi Chen wanted to ask more questions, but when he turned around, he found that the sky had changed. He called Wen Xue, and the two hurried to leave the mountain temple. Unexpectedly, the group of good men and women were blocking the door, kneeling and worshiping, and walking out. After walking, the sky began to drizzle.

They haven't figured out the death conditions in this world for the time being, and they sway back and forth between sheltering from the rain and running back to have lunch.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Miao Zhu took out an oil-paper umbrella from under a broken alcove and handed it to them, "Hurry up and go back to have lunch."

Shi Chen hesitated for a moment, picked up his umbrella and thanked Miaozhu. The rain started at about the same time as the day before, and it soon became heavier.When they crossed the Heishui River, they found that the wind on the Heishui River was stronger than that on the shore. They fell down twice, and if one of their feet didn't pay attention, they would fall into the river.

According to Miao Zhu, the reason why the Heishui River became like this is because people here used to raise Gu, and the waste poisonous insects were poured directly into the river. Over time, the river water changed from its original clear state to its current appearance.In previous years, tourists would fall into the river, because the river was so dirty that they could not see the bottom. When the fishing boats picked up the people, they were all bones.

It's just that this is all Miao Zhudao's hearsay. He has never been down the mountain in his life, but the believers down the mountain will occasionally tell him interesting things.

It's hard to tell if it's true or not, but it's okay even if he fell into the river, and Shi Chen didn't want to go swimming, the main reason is that the river is too dirty, and he can indeed see a few insects floating on it.

Back outside the hotel, Shi Chen purposely hid his umbrella in the alley next to the hotel, deliberately wet his clothes before entering the hotel.

"You two finally came back, I thought something happened to you two." Daqu saw the person appearing, he was relieved, and wondered: "How did you two come back, didn't you get caught in the rain?"

"The one who ran back with the windbreaker on his head, luckily the clothes are waterproof." Shi Chen threw the windbreaker away casually, pretending to be dissatisfied, "We didn't even wait for us to eat lunch."

After Shi Chen finished speaking, he looked at the proprietress who came out, and saw that she squinted her eyes and smiled so uncomfortable.

"Come and have lunch." The proprietress divided the dishes.

Wen Xue stared at the proprietress' hand, and did not do anything strange when she saw her leave.

Daqu hurriedly made two bowls of instant noodles for them, and said with a smile, "Didn't you think that you would take shelter from the rain outside?"

The rain didn't stop, so everyone could only stare at the hotel. It was already the second day, and everyone still couldn't find any useful clues. Daqu and Xiaoluo took Cao Zhen to ask the shop selling cigarettes for a long time, without any intention.As for the other two old people, they ran to the other end of the guzheng to investigate, and only found out that every household in this ancient city raised Gu, so it was impossible to confirm who was the boss.

And Sister Hua, who is an internet celebrity, has not done anything other than taking pictures in the past half a day, and now she is sitting by the window with her mobile phone and repairing the photos.

"The rain hasn't stopped yet." Ye Qian's lips were bloodshot, and her complexion was not very good. After lunch, she rested in her room.

Just as Ye Qian finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly blew outside the house, blowing open the window next to Sister Hua, and then another gust of wind, the hotel's terrain is relatively low, and the waves of the Heishui River are bigger enough to hit the wooden walls.

"Really, this broken place."

"Forget it, Nini." Lin Mengshun persuaded: "Close the window first, the rain is coming in."

"I know, I know, what are you rushing for?" After finishing speaking, the girl named Nini closed the window and complained, "This river water is really disgusting. You smell it, it stinks."

When Shi Chen heard this, he was the first to look at the girl, followed by Wen Xue and Da Qu. Everyone's eyes were complicated, with suspicion and curiosity, and the pity of foreseeing death.

Sensing everyone's gaze, the girl glanced back at them, and her heart sank a lot. She reacted quickly and frantically pulled out a tissue to wipe off the dry spots.

After all, what happened last night, this girl happened to see the eyes of everyone at that time, but anyone who is not a fool can see that the eyes are the same as now, looking at a dying person.

But no matter how hard the girl wiped it, she still couldn't clean it, and instead there were more and more water stains.

"If you can't wipe it clean, why can't you wipe it clean?" The girl shouted: "Lin Mengshun, come and help me, you are dead."

Lin Mengshun froze in fright. Hearing the high-spirited scolding, he fell to the ground, then got up and wanted to help, but in the middle of the walk, Lin Mengshun stopped suddenly, his eyes widened, and he slowly shook his head and backed away.

The flesh on the girl's hand was peeling off, and the black spot was expanding little by little, and it had corroded to the back of her hand.

"Come here and help me." The roar has turned into crying, "Who of you help me, I don't want to die."

Everyone was indifferent, no one went up, and they didn't dare to go up.

Wen Xue squatted down and covered Cao Zhen's eyes, and saw the girl walking towards Lin Mengshun suddenly. At this time, not only were there only bones left on the back of her left hand, but also blood was encountered during the process of wiping her palm, and the blood was already corrosive. The flesh in the palm was gone, only the fingers remained, and the blood was still dripping down onto the girl's white thigh.

Seeing this scene, Lin Mengshun was so frightened that he kicked his legs and crawled back, crying, "Don't come here, please don't come here."

"Die together, you will die together if you don't save me."

Before the girl jumped on Lin Mengshun, Shi Chen dragged away Lin Mengshun who was lying on the ground. The girl was still unwilling to throw herself at Shi Chen, but suddenly she was kicked violently in the abdomen and fell to the side of the table.

"It didn't touch it, did it?" Wen Xue checked Shi Chen nervously.

"No, it's you, is it okay to get your shoes on?" Shi Chen asked anxiously.

Wen Xue saw that there was indeed some blood on the toe of the shoe, shook his head and said, "It should be fine if it doesn't get on the skin."

Shi Chen nodded, and looked at the girl again, because of the blood all over her body, the corrosion was extremely fast.Her hands and feet were nothing but black bones, her eyes were wide open, and she stared at them until she died. In the end, her internal organs were all melted into a pool of blood, and only a gray-black human bone was left.
