Cook in full swing in an escape game

Chapter 21

After the slaughterhouse shut down, the gate finally opened, and the spooky Wang Xin disappeared. Lin Sheng and Zhang Jiu followed the off-duty workers and left there.

The two returned to the security room. Although the journey was calm and there was no danger, their expressions were not very good. Zhang Jiu endured the whole process, and now he couldn't control it anymore. He held the table and vomited out the contents of his stomach.

Zhang Jiu: "...that's a woman, Lin Sheng, I don't have eyesight, do I?"

Lin Sheng remained silent. Of course Zhang Jiu was not dazzled. She just didn't dare to admit what happened in front of her eyes. Although the two of them were in an illusion just now, Lin Sheng knew that what they saw in the workshop was what happened in real life. past scene.

"Before, I thought that the ghost possessing Wang Xin was the female ghost I met in the elevator." Lin Sheng loosened his collar and splashed cold water on his face.

The reason why he said that was because after Wang Xin appeared, Lin Sheng fell into a state of being unable to control his body for a short time, and that familiar feeling reminded him of the female elevator ghost.

"But now it seems that there is another person possessing Wang Xin."

Obviously, the thing that trapped them was not malicious, otherwise how could the two return to the security room with their tails intact?But Lin Sheng knew that the female ghost in the elevator was very malicious, so he wanted to kill him the first time they met.

The one on Wang Xin was different, it just forced the two of them to witness the scene of the female corpse being disposed of.

"Do you remember what Wang Xin said before pushing us in?"

Zhang Jiu recalled that she was very scared at the time, so her memory was particularly clear.

"He said, 'I'm stuck inside.'"

So far, things have become very clear, Wang Xin is possessed by a ghost, but the ghost has no intention of killing people, it just wants the player to know the evil that happened in the slaughterhouse.

Combined with the phrase "I'm trapped inside", the ghost possessing Wang Xin should be the female corpse they saw.

Because of her unwillingness and resentment after death, she asked the player to help her avenge her in this way.

Then how did Wang Xin die?

"What's wrong with Wang Xin started when he found out that the child's body was missing." Lin Sheng carefully recalled everything that happened today. Wang Xin was the first player to die unfortunately, so it is very important to understand the process of his death.

Zhang Jiu said: "First get rid of that female corpse, she has no malice towards us, let alone killed Wang Xin."

The two were discussing various possibilities one by one, when Chen Qi and Wu Zian came back.

As soon as Chen Qi entered the door, he asked, "Why is the elevator broken?"

Zhang Jiu immediately reminded him: "You still have to take the elevator? Didn't Lin Sheng say that he met a female ghost in it?"

Wu Zian said impatiently: "We're not going to take the elevator, but we found something abnormal, it seems that you don't know what's going on, forget it."

Zhang Jiu choked, and Wu Zian rolled his eyes in anger.

Seeing that they were going to investigate the malfunctioning elevator, Lin Sheng also got up and walked over.Although Zhang Jiu was very angry, but when he thought that he might miss an important clue, he still followed in resentment.

Don't let your emotions affect your game progress.

Looking at Wu Zian's back, Zhang Jiu said angrily in his heart:

"Heh, who hasn't come from a newcomer? Sooner or later, you will not be able to reach me!"

Having said that, Zhang Jiu cowered behind Lin Sheng when he reached the elevator.

Looking at a horizontal bar on the elevator screen, Lin Sheng asked Chen Qi: "When did you find out that the elevator was malfunctioning?"

"Half an hour ago." Chen Qi said while poking the elevator button with his hand, but of course the elevator didn't respond.

Lin Sheng put his ear on the elevator door and listened carefully for a while, he was worried that some residents would be trapped inside.

Zhang Jiu: "Did you hear anything?"

Lin Sheng made a booing gesture to her, and after a while, he said, "Strange, is there a water leak inside? I heard a ticking sound."

Wu Zian and Chen Qi looked at each other, and she suddenly asked, "What's wrong with Wang Xin?"

Thinking that the death notification just now was sent to every player at the same time. Now that everyone knows the news of Wang Xin's death, Lin Sheng told Wu Zi'an what happened just now. After listening, she said puzzledly:

"Mr. Zhang is still ranked first. Although it is dangerous, he is still alive and well. It's really interesting. The NPC is fine, but the player died first."

It seems that in this game, the death of the protecting NPC is not the only factor for the player's death. Ghosts can kill people at any time. Players must not only protect others, but also protect themselves, otherwise Wang Xin's situation will occur.

Wu Zian glanced at the elevator, and she reached out to turn the knob for emergency door opening, but there was no response from the elevator.

"Chen Qi, go find a crowbar."

Chen Qi was surprised: "What do you say? You want to pry open the elevator door?!"

Is Wu Zian crazy?This is the place where the female ghost appeared!

In the end, under Wu Zian's insistence, Chen Qi still obeyed obediently. Although Lin Sheng felt that something was wrong, when he thought that the four of them were here, and Wu Zian insisted so much, he must have thought that something would be discovered in the elevator .

After tossing for a long time, the elevator door finally opened, but to everyone's surprise, the car was empty and there was nothing.

Wu Zian stood outside the elevator door and observed carefully. The ticking sound that Lin Sheng heard became louder. Wu Zian raised his head and looked around every corner of the car.

Her sight finally stopped at the escape window on the top of the car.

"It was here."

Chen Qi walked over curiously, "What is here?"

The next second, when he saw the blood seeping down the edge of the window, Chen Qi suddenly turned pale with shock.

Although the escape window is opaque, I also know that it is probably not a good thing. Compared with the man Chen Qi, Wu Zian is quite calm at the moment. She even proposed to go to the second floor and open the elevator door to have a look. Wouldn't it be clear what was dripping blood in the elevator shaft?

After the elevator door on the second floor was pried open in the same way, everyone saw that the person lying on the top of the elevator car was the dead Wang Xin.

"Bleeding from the spat, missing an arm and a leg, let me see, um... probably shattered."

Wu Zian studied Wang Xin's body without changing her expression. After she finished, she raised her head and glanced up the elevator shaft.

"You said, did the female ghost on the seventh floor push him down?"

Although Wu Zian's words sounded like she was asking, in fact, she had already made a judgment after examining the corpse.

Zhang Jiu was startled when he heard this. It seems that Wang Xin did not experience hallucinations. He threw that ghost child down from the seventh floor. After the child came back, he pushed him down the elevator in the same way... .

Sure enough, it was the ghost's revenge.

"Wang Xin is too miserable. First he was possessed, and then he was pushed down the elevator shaft..." Zhang Jiu folded his arms and flinched.

After Wang Xin's death, no one will protect the safety of 703 with her.

"If he hadn't been impulsive, he wouldn't be dead now." Chen Qi shook his head, and Wang Xin must have been greatly stimulated by such a thing as throwing a child from the window.

"The mental quality is still too poor."

Zhang Jiu seemed to remember something, "By the way, I remember Wang Xin mentioned it to me. He said that he dreamed about the child last night, but he didn't say what the dream was about."

"You mean, Wang Xin was stimulated in a dream?"

Chen Qi said disdainfully: "Dream? How can he be frightened by dreams at such a big age?"

Lin Sheng: "The ghosts in this building can manipulate people's consciousness. Before that, Zhang Jiu and I entered the illusion. Maybe Wang Xin really saw something in the dream."

"But I was dreaming too." Chen Qi curled his lips, "But I didn't dream of ghosts, what I dreamed was a group of kittens."

cat?

Lin Sheng raised his head immediately. He remembered the pile of cat corpses dug up outside the building, and he had an intuition that there was something wrong with it. Maybe the dream could really indicate something.

"Can you tell me what your dream was like?"

Seeing that Lin Sheng was suddenly so interested in his dream, Chen Qi was a little confused, so he scratched his head and said, "I just dreamed of several cats, some black, white, and three-flowered... Each one was a different color, and they kept barking at me, and then I woke up."

"that's it?"

"That's it."

Lin Sheng frowned, Chen Qi's dream conveyed too little information, but he still suspected that the dream was related to the plot, otherwise why didn't Chen Qi dream of a group of puppies barking at him?

Lin Sheng tried to ask from another angle: "Have you been to Zhao An's house? Is there anything unusual about his house?"

"Zhao An, he is a young man who lives alone. There are many cats in the house. It is quite messy. There is a bad smell, nothing unusual."

While talking, the four returned to the security room, and this time Dai Yi was also there.

Wu Zian turned on the monitor, usually the players can only see the real-time screen, but she still has a way, Lin Sheng noticed that the screen is speeding up and rewinding.

Wu Zian probably wanted to see if Wang Xin got on the elevator, and soon a figure appeared on the screen. Wu Zian turned the speed back to normal, only to see that after Lin Sheng and Zhang Jiu went to find the child's body, Wang Xin was alone. Sitting on the ground, after a while, he suddenly trembled all over his body, then stood up as if he had woken up and walked into the building, went straight to the elevator room, and pressed the up button.

Knowing that Wang Xin had been killed by a ghost, and seeing this scene again, the players felt chills down their backs, especially when seeing Wang Xin walking, Zhang Jiu couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Wang Xin usually likes to take a figure-of-sight walk, but in the surveillance video, his walking posture is very strange, bouncing around, just like the kid on the seventh floor.

"dong dong dong"

At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the security room, startling everyone who was paying attention.

"Who?"

No one answered, Wu Zian was the closest to the door, she didn't see anyone at the window, so she opened the door.

Unexpectedly, the child adopted by the seventh floor was standing at the door, because of her short stature, Wu Zian thought there was no one outside the door.

The players were all shocked, not only because the little girl had just killed Wang Xin, but also because the visual shock was too powerful.

Although I heard about this child from Lin Sheng, it was quite shocking to see it with my own eyes. The last time I saw this weird baby, she was still in her infancy. Now she can not only run and jump, but can even talk , What kind of weird growth rate is this?

The girl wore two shofar braids and kept her bangs straight. When she saw Wu Zian, the little girl tilted her head and smiled.

"Big sister, have you seen my snail?"

What?snails?

Wu Zian was taken aback by the question, and was even thinking about whether the snail in the girl's mouth was a real snail or referring to something.

She forced herself to calm down, "What did you say?"

The little girl squinted her eyes, stretched out her hand and pointed inward, which was the seat Wang Xin always liked to sit in.

"My snails came in, they are really greedy, can I go in and take them home?"

The little girl was surprisingly polite, but this made the players feel even more weird. They watched the little girl bouncing up to the table and automatically split into two, keeping them far away.

The little girl looked around, as if she was trying to determine the location of the snail, and then she seemed to have found it. The girl's eyes fell on the table, and everyone looked there, wondering what the snail she was talking about was.

The next second, the girl suddenly stretched out her hand and opened the drawer, and then exclaimed excitedly: "I found it!"

I saw that the inner layer of the wooden drawer was densely covered with snails, and the snail shells were next to each other. The patient with trypophobia died on the spot.

Crowd:! ! !

Lin Sheng frowned, and goose bumps immediately appeared on his arms. They never paid attention to the furniture in the security room, and they didn't know when the snails were put in.

"I want to take them back."

The little girl held the drawer with one hand, while turning her head to cast her questioning eyes on everyone.

Seeing this scene, Chen Qi felt intense fear. He said with disgust on his face, "Take it away! Take the whole drawer away!"

No one wondered where the little girl got the strength to lift the solid wood drawer. What they heard and saw today was beyond normal cognition. Everyone's faces were pale, and they couldn't say a word. They could only watch the little girl jump and leave.

After the little girl left, the players didn't stand or sit. They were all afraid that there might be something else in the furniture in the room. Most of them thought the room was too noisy, so they went out to let the air out when they had a chance.

Dai Yi didn't leave, he walked around the room, thoughtful.

Why did that girl, or the female ghost, come in looking for snails in front of everyone?If she wants to continue to harm the player, then there is no need to expose herself. Since she can put the snail in in full view, she must be able to kill the player in some way, so what is the girl's purpose?Is it just to tell everyone that she has snails?

Dai Yi's eyes fell on the table. He was thinking about what the snail would do. After thinking about it, Dai Yi suddenly squatted down and carefully observed the table that had been pulled out of the drawer.

In a hollow, he saw another snail.

Fourth day.

Zhang Jiu's stomach growled in disbelief.

She was also quite uncomfortable. Yesterday she saw the woman's body in the slaughterhouse, and when she returned to the security room, she was shocked by the little girl's snail again. Zhang Jiu's stomach was empty, but she still had no appetite.

The situation of several other people is similar. Although they know in their hearts that maintaining physical strength is very important in the escape game, but now, even if they take out a delicious steak, they can't eat it anymore.

Anything about meat is disgusting to the players.

It was time for dinner again, and everyone gathered in the security room, looking at Lin Sheng eagerly.

Lin Sheng sighed helplessly.

In the past few days, thanks to Dai Yi's sweeping the building, his recipes have expanded countless times, and they can almost be used as menus.

"Let me see,...how about a green salad today?"

This was not Lin Sheng's illusion. The other four people all glanced this way after hearing the vegetable salad, and then looked away in embarrassment.

Chen Qi said: "You can eat anything."

Zhang Jiu's eyes lit up, "Salad sounds good."

Even Wu Zian said: "It's hard work for you to eat differently every day."

Lin Sheng smiled and said, "What's the matter?" He finished speaking and looked at Dai Yi.

Dai Yi didn't seem to want others to know that he was looking for clues in name these days, but in fact he was looking for food, so Lin Sheng kept silent about the "small meeting" between the two of them.

Five vegetable salads appeared in front of several people. The fresh green leaves and small red tomatoes made people feel refreshed and appetizing at first glance. After one bite, the haze in their hearts dissipated immediately.

Chen Qi put his head down and ate it fiercely, and quickly wiped it all away.

After eating, he rubbed his stomach and felt a sense of physical and mental comfort. When did he live such a comfortable life in "Sky Screen"?Eat whatever you want, delicious and full!

Chen Qi got up and came to Lin Sheng's side, and patted his shoulder with his hand.

"Brother, thank you very much, I really hope to meet you in the next game."

Zhang Jiu also had the same thoughts in her heart. In the novice level of the last game, she had a meal in the game and lived a life like a savage. Thinking of this, she only felt that the food in front of her was even more delicious.

"That's right." Chen Qi suddenly remembered something, "Lin Sheng, have you joined any guild yet?"

Lin Sheng shook his head, "Not yet, I've only been to the 'platform' once."

Chen Qi looked at Wu Zian who was still eating, and said to Lin Sheng in a low voice: "If I can pass the customs this time, I will officially become a member of Rose Heart, and then I will develop you into it."

"Development" comes in?Lin Sheng smiled wryly. What happened to the illusion that he had strayed into a pyramid scheme?

Chen Qi's words were very sincere and did not seem to be fake.Maybe he was really grateful to himself, and wanted to be able to eat and drink without worrying about it in future dungeons, but Lin Sheng had his own considerations, but he didn't show it on the surface.

From Chen Qi's words, it can be known that this game is a test for him, and passing it is equivalent to getting the admission card of Rose Heart.

It turned out to be like this, no wonder Chen Qi defended Wu Zian everywhere.

Lin Sheng remembered that Wu Zian said that she was not in good health, maybe it was because of this consideration that she found a small follower for herself.

After the meal, the players dispersed again to act independently. Lin Sheng was about to go to the eighth floor, but Dai Yi stopped him when he didn't want to.

"Can you see if this thing can be included?"

It was the familiar opening remark again. In the past few days, Lin Sheng has gradually gotten used to Dai Yi always finding outlandish things for him to try. Naturally, he has no objection to this, after all, that's how those new dishes came about.

"Okay, I'll try."

Dai Yi stretched out his hand. To his surprise, Lin Sheng saw a snail in his palm.

Lin Sheng: "...Are you sure?"

The psychological trauma caused by this food has not yet healed, and Dai Yi has already started to think about whether he can eat it?

Although Lin Sheng showed disgust, Dai Yi was very firm, "Try."

Lin Sheng reluctantly put the snail on the recipe. The snail stretched out two long tentacles and squirmed forward slowly, leaving behind a trail covered in mucus.

A single one looks fine, not as disgusting as yesterday's densely packed one. Lin Sheng suddenly remembered that a dish of baked snails in French food is quite popular, but French food doesn't matter if you are full, eating in the instance is the best way to recover important......

He is still thinking wildly, but the recipe has turned a new page. This dish is probably French baked snails. In this escape game, he unexpectedly became more and more refined.

However, something even more unexpected happened to him.

[Name: Snail shell (special props)

Introduction: It is made of an important prop [Tian Shiqing's snail] in the dungeon of the apartment building. The hard shell is a natural shelter, which can protect the player from all harm, so you can hide in it with peace of mind.

Aging: 1 minutes

Number of uses: unlimited]

Lin Sheng couldn't help but widen his eyes, another special prop!

If he hadn't returned to the laboratory with the mentality of giving it a try, he would have missed the energy drink.

It seems that each dungeon has a chance to obtain special props, and it depends on whether the player can grasp it.

Moreover, this snail shell can be used unlimited times!Lin Sheng raised his head and looked at Dai Yi excitedly, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

Dai Yi raised his eyebrows: "Why, what dish makes you so excited?"

"It's not a dish, it's a prop synthesized!"

Lin Sheng didn't hide it from him. After these few contacts, he has fully trusted Dai Yi, not to mention that Dai Yi proposed to try the snail.

After seeing the props introduction of the snail shell, Dai Yi found it very interesting, "What did you synthesize in the last world?"

Lin Sheng told Dai Yi everything about the Antarctic scientific research station. When he heard that he gave Ma Yichen an energy drink, Dai Yi interrupted: "You just gave it to him? Knowing the energy drink? How much is the drink worth?"

Lin Sheng paused. He remembered that Dai Yi set up a stall in the black market, and he probably knew the prices of various props by heart, so he asked, "How much is it worth?"

Seeing that he didn't know the price, Dai Yi sighed helplessly.

"Let's put it this way, at least it's worth a hundred pots of cactus."

A pot of cactus is two thousand gold coins, a hundred pots is... 20? !

Lin Sheng didn't speak, Dai Yi saw this and said, "Do you feel distressed?"

"That's not true." Lin Sheng shook his head.

Recalling the last game, Lin Sheng couldn't help feeling a little sad, and at the same time he was also very worried about what happened to Ma Yichen.

"It's different from this game. At that time, the few of us newcomers were pretty good...except for Xu Yangli, our relationship was pretty good. The girl who died was Ma Yichen's girlfriend. He wanted to avenge his girlfriend. I can understand that, but we're new guys and it's good to survive, so I gave him an energy drink, hoping to help him."

As Dai Yi said, the price of an energy drink is about 20 gold coins, and Lin Sheng only got [-] gold coins after clearing the customs. In this comparison, special items are indeed very valuable, but Lin Sheng feels that some things cannot be used Money measure.

Obviously, the life of a friend is more precious.

"Let's not talk about that." Lin Sheng changed the subject, "Did you notice the introduction of the props, which said it was made of Tian Shiqing's snails."

Dai Yi nodded, "Tian Shiqing is that little girl."

"That's right, I also remembered one more thing. On the day Mr. Zhang and Xiaoyue came back from adopting their child, we met them in the elevator. At that time, Mr. Zhang and Xiaoyue had a dispute over the child's nickname. Zhang The gentleman lost his temper when he heard the name 'Sweet'."

Dai Yi also remembered this incident, he stroked his beard, "You mean, Tiantian is Tian Shiqing?"

Lin Sheng nodded solemnly.
