Cook in full swing in an escape game

Chapter 22

The game has entered the second half, and Lin Sheng's investigation has also made new discoveries.

The old fortune-teller at 804 seemed to be suffering from some serious illness. Lin Sheng helped the old fortune-teller take the household garbage downstairs several times in the name of helping out. In fact, he found a corner, put on gloves and a mask, and rummaged through the old man’s garbage bags .

If it wasn't for his life, Lin Sheng wouldn't have worked so hard. He had never done such a thing as digging through garbage in his life. He just heard that some detectives would secretly look through the garbage of the person under investigation to find clues. Follow the example.

Lin Sheng persisted in this unpleasant activity for a few days, but fortunately, Huangtian paid off, and he finally found something useful!

Lin Sheng picked up a piece of blood-stained handkerchief with a clip and threw it aside. He had seen several pieces of the same thing today.

The old man was afraid that he had some incurable disease, and it had deteriorated to the point of coughing up blood.

Seeing the dazzling red, Lin Sheng couldn't help feeling worried.

If there are ghosts and ghosts who want to harm people, he can at least try to stop them, but it is unreasonable for diseases to take people's lives. If his NPC dies because of illness, wouldn't it be too unfair for him to die?

Lin Sheng came to the eighth floor out of breath. He wanted to ask the old man what kind of disease he had.

Old man Dong's room was still pitch-black, and the unknown god statue was looming in the flickering candlelight, which seemed a bit intrusive.

As soon as Lin Sheng stepped in, his nose immediately smelled a disgusting smell of decay.

The old man held on to the door, and coughed before he could speak. The violent shaking of his body made his already hunched waist bend even more. Lin Sheng frowned at the sound, and his heart was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

"Mr. Dong, how is your health? What's wrong with you?"

Old man Dong glanced at Lin Sheng gloomyly, and after a long time, he calmly said, "What a bad old man, how can he get better?"

He stared at Lin Sheng with those cloudy old eyes, and saw that the latter seemed to be concerned about his body. After a while, he said quietly, "Are you afraid that I will die here?"

Lin Shengxin said that I am not afraid of you dying here, but I am afraid of myself dying here.

Seeing that he didn't deny it, the old man chuckled, "You are really interesting, if you are so worried about my body, why don't you lend me your Yangshou for a few years?"

Lin Sheng: Huh?What a joke!

Compared with the last time we met, Old Man Dong looked ghostly, and his words were also very strange-cure if you are sick, which normal person would think of taking advantage of his longevity?

Lin Sheng felt terrified at the sight of him, this old man was always playing tricks, he had only a few days to live, and he didn't know who he was scaring.

"Master, I'm here to advise you. If you're sick, take medicine quickly. If it's inconvenient to buy it, I can help you. Don't delay your treatment."

As they grow older, many elderly people will eventually become like medicine baskets. Although technology has prolonged the average life span of human beings, taking countless medicines every day has also become a burden for the elderly.

Lin Sheng's grandparents were like this. They took more medicine after meals than meals every day, but judging by the state of old man Dong, his condition should not be much better.

"Let me see what medicine you are taking."

Lin Sheng casually picked up a candlestick to light it up. The room was pitch black, and he might not even be able to read the words on the medicine box clearly.

I don't want to, but this action of his made old man Dong's expression suddenly change.

"Don't move! Put it down!"

The originally sluggish Old Man Dong suddenly ran towards him like a rabbit, Lin Sheng was taken aback, and the candle flame bumped with his movements, which happened to reflect the panicked face of Old Man Dong.

"Slow down! Slow down!"

Seeing Lin Sheng put down the candlestick steadily, old man Dong was relieved. He immediately blocked Lin Sheng with his body, protecting the candlestick behind him, for fear that the other party would stretch out his hand again.

"Get out!"

Old man Dong scolded hoarsely, "That's my life extension lamp! If you dare to extinguish it, I will die with you even if I try my best!"

Old man Dong pushed Lin Sheng out with a sullen face. His withered hands were surprisingly strong, and he slammed the door hard in front of Lin Sheng.

Life extension lamp?

It was the first time for Lin Sheng to hear this term. If it was before, he would have preconceived that it was a feudal superstition and a deceitful thing. Dare to make an assertion.

Old man Dong looks like a candle in the wind, but he is still alive tenaciously. Maybe the lamp he picked up can really help him continue his life?

Lin Sheng originally thought that if Old Man Dong was really seriously ill and he didn't take his medicine obediently, he would be given an energy drink to keep him alive for seven days.

But now it seems that Lin Sheng's worries are completely unnecessary.

Old man Dong is full of desire to survive, not only taking medicine, but also setting up a life extension lamp.

Speaking of energy drinks, Lin Sheng was thinking about a question while going downstairs——

What makes the energy drink is Dr. Hyman's biological sample. In the previous world, Herman used the sample to free the monster from human control, which directly led to the final monster night.

So in this world, what is the role of the snail made into a special prop snail shell?

"Drink the milk quickly."

Mr. Zhang put a cup of warm milk on the bedside, and Xiaoyue nodded with a smile, sitting on the bed and drinking the milk before going to bed.

After that physical examination, Xiaoyue was unfortunately found to be infertile. However, Mr. Zhang not only did not complain about her, but took care of Xiaoyue's daily life more carefully. Anyone who saw her would praise her as a model husband.

Xiaoyue: "Is Ruirui asleep?"

"Sleeping, I was playing snail hunting in the garden downstairs today, maybe I was tired from playing, so I went to bed early."

Xiaoyue wiped her mouth, seeing that her husband seemed to be troubled, she asked with concern: "What's the matter?"

Mr. Zhang faltered, and Xiaoyue asked again and again, before he tentatively asked:

"Dad, he still hasn't let go...?"

Hearing this, the smile on Xiaoyue's face paused, it turned out that she was worrying about this matter.

Looking at her husband, she couldn't help feeling distressed.

Xiaoyue's father has always disapproved of the two being together. He thought that his father would let go after receiving the certificate. Unexpectedly, two years later, his father still refused to let Mr. Zhang go home for the New Year.

"We already have Ruirui. As you said, when Dad sees that we have a child, his attitude will gradually loosen."

Mr. Zhang lowered his head, sighed, and said softly, "Ruirui is not our own after all."

Xiaoyue felt very guilty. If it wasn't because of her poor health that she couldn't conceive, the two of them would have had a child long ago.

"No, we are already Ruirui's legal parents. When Dad sees that we have a child, he will know that you and I cannot be separated."

Seeing Xiaoyue's firm gaze, Mr. Zhang nodded.

"By the way, my friend who works in the hospital told me today that he saw Dad during his rounds."

Xiaoyue frowned, "What did you say?!"

"Dad seems to be sick and hospitalized, let's go see him tomorrow, and let Dad see Ruirui by the way."

"No matter what, if the old man is sick, those of us who are younger generations should go and have a look. Even if Dad doesn't want to see me...at least see you and Ruirui, Dad will be very happy."

Xiaoyue held Mr. Zhang's hand, "Don't say that, Dad is just too stubborn."

at night.

Mr. Zhang was lying on the bed with a satisfied smile on his face.

In fact, he learned that Xiaoyue's father was hospitalized a few days ago, and he asked his friend what kind of disease his father was at that time.

"The old man's heart is not very good. He is so old and still has a third grade. I heard that he has a bad temper and gets angry every now and then. You have to persuade him if he is fine. Otherwise, if he is too emotional one day, he will suddenly... ...."

Knowing this news, Mr. Zhang thought all night, Xiaoyue must not be able to hide it, even if he can hide it for a while, he will not be able to hide it for a lifetime.

Dad never gave up the idea of ​​getting the two of them divorced. If the old man asked Xiaoyue to leave him on the hospital bed, would she listen to the old man?

Mr. Zhang didn't dare to make a promise. After much deliberation, he still had to have a child.

After taking Ruirui home, he felt a little relieved.

Lying on the bed, Mr. Zhang began to imagine what the meeting would be like tomorrow. The old man would lose his temper when he saw Ruirui, and he would leave on the spot. Thinking of this, Mr. Zhang felt that such a development seemed not bad.

Xiaoyue's mother is a housewife. If the old man leaves, she will not be able to run the company by herself. As the only child in the family, Xiaoyue will definitely inherit the entire family business in the future.

Mr. Zhang turned his head to look at the sleeping Xiaoyue, with a smile on his lips.

My little wife is so obedient...

Ha, maybe I will reach the pinnacle of life ahead of schedule!

In the middle of the night, Mr. Zhang seemed to hear rustling footsteps outside the bedroom door.

Half asleep, half awake, he thought it was a thief, but then, Mr. Zhang remembered that it should be Ruirui.

Now that there is a child, there is one more person in the family. Mr. Zhang is obviously not used to the world of three people. Thinking of this, he turned over and continued to sleep.

No, Ruirui is walking?

Mr. Zhang felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this idea, but whenever he thought about the key point, there seemed to be an invisible hand preventing him from continuing to think, and his thinking fell into chaos.

There was another sound of footsteps, like bare feet stepping on the wooden floor, the pace was very slow, but the sound was getting closer.

Mr. Zhang frowned and slowly opened his eyes.

"what!"

The bedroom was dark except for a small night light in the corner. Mr. Zhang opened his eyes and saw Ruirui standing in front of his bed, staring straight at him with a pair of big dark eyes.

"I'm here to find you."

Mr. Zhang touched the glasses from the bedside and put them on, "Ruirui? What are you doing here when you're not sleeping?"

Seeing that it was her, Mr. Zhang heaved a sigh of relief, but why does this child come out in the middle of the night to be scary?

Looks like a good discipline.

"You forgot." Ruirui stared at him, half-smiling.

"What did you forget?" Mr. Zhang didn't understand.

"My birthday."

Ruirui stood in front of the bed with the baby in her arms, and her body under the floral nightdress obviously grew a little longer.

"When is your birthday?"

How strange, Mr. Zhang clearly remembered that the people in the orphanage told him that this child was abandoned and left at the gate of the orphanage. No one knew her birthday.

"December 7."

Ruirui's clear answer gave Mr. Zhang a pause, but this day reminded him of someone.

Mr. Zhang was a little annoyed immediately, there are 365 days in a year, why is it just this day?

He frowned, and turned his head to look at the electronic clock beside the bed unhappily.

July 7th was yesterday.

"July 7th has already passed, dad will give you a make-up birthday tomorrow, okay?"

Mr. Zhang hugged Ruirui in his arms, and coaxed softly: "What gift does Ruirui want?"

The little girl looked at him without blinking, and suddenly smiled strangely.

She pointed at Mr. Zhang, "My snail is hungry."

Mr. Zhang didn't understand why, so he asked in confusion: "Ah? What did you say?"

The clouds covered the bright moonlight, and there was only a small night light in the corner of the room. The dim light shone from behind Ruirui, making him unable to see Ruirui's face clearly for a while.

Mr. Zhang yawned and was woken up in the middle of the night. He is very sleepy now and just wants to go back to sleep. Why is this child unable to speak clearly and whimpering?

"Okay, okay." Mr. Zhang has lost patience with Ruirui's nonsense.

"Go back to sleep, we can talk about it tomorrow."

Mr. Zhang lifted his quilt and led Ruirui back to her room.

He covered Ruirui with the quilt. Even though he was already yawning, the little girl didn't seem to be sleepy at all. She stared at Mr. Zhang unblinkingly with her big eyes open.

Suddenly, Mr. Zhang felt a gust of cold wind blowing, he shivered, looked up, the window was clearly closed.

strangeness.

"Go to bed early, good night."

......

Xiaoyue woke up very early today, before Mr. Zhang got up, she got up lightly, washed up and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Today is an important day. Xiaoyue knows that her husband and her father have been fighting each other. Now that her father is sick, Mr. Zhang is willing to accompany her to see him.

Xiaoyue waved the spatula and yawned while frying eggs. She didn't sleep well last night, and she could always hear some voices when she was half asleep and half awake.

To say that the sound was really annoying, thin and continuous, it lasted all night, Xiaoyue rubbed her eyes and took out the milk from the refrigerator.

If I have to describe it, it sounds like chewing, but it's not the sound of people eating, but more like bugs eating leaves, bite by bite.

After turning off the fire and putting on the plate, Xiaoyue brushed her hair, she retracted her thoughts, picked up the plate and walked towards the bedroom.

"Honey, get up."

The electronic clock at the head of the bed showed that it was already seven o'clock in the morning, but Mr. Zhang covered his head under the quilt and remained motionless.

"I can't sleep in late today, didn't we agree to go to see my father?"

Xiaoyue shook his shoulders twice again, it was really strange, Mr. Zhang didn't get up late usually, why didn't he respond after calling for a long time today?

"Woke up."

She pulled off the quilt and patted Mr. Zhang's face, wanting to grab his cheek and pull it badly, but the cold touch on her hand made her whole body go stiff.

Mr. Zhang's body was cold, Xiaoyue withdrew her hand, hesitated for a while, then turned his face and rushed towards herself.

I saw that Mr. Zhang's eyes were open, but he was not awake.

"Husband! What's wrong with you?! Talk!!!"

Xiaoyue threw off the quilt, and the sight in front of her made her hairs stand on end, and her blood rushed to her face.

"Ahhhh-!!!"

The sharp soprano pierced the sky, Xiaoyue got up quickly, knocked over the dinner plate in a panic, and the cups and plates broke on the ground, making a crisp sound, Xiaoyue ran out rolling and crawling, her knees and elbows were crushed. The broken glass was scratched and scarred.

She is too scared.

Mr. Zhang's body under the quilt was already a bone, and below his neck, hundreds of snails densely covered his flesh and blood. They squirmed slowly to eat, opened their small mouths on the abdomen, and rolled in the flesh and blood. Then he chewed "creak-creak".

[NPC Mr. Zhang died

Punishment pending

Punish the player: Wu Zian

Current ranking: Xiaoyue>Mr. Dong>Slaughterhouse Boss>Zhao An]

Early in the morning, the cold voice of the system woke up the players from their sleep. Lin Sheng rubbed his eyes, and several of them looked at each other. Unfortunately, what they saw on each other's faces was confusion.

Mr. Zhang is dead?

"Why did this happen all of a sudden!" Zhang Jiu exclaimed loudly. What attracted her attention was not the death of Mr. Zhang, but the updated ranking.

When she woke up, Xiaoyue turned into the most dangerous NPC so far!

Lin Sheng quickly turned on the monitor and looked from room to room.

703 was empty, and Xiaoyue and the child were nowhere to be seen. Just as the players were discussing, Xiaoyue ran downstairs in a panic, crying and calling the police.

Hearing the details of Mr. Zhang's death, all the people present felt shuddering and horrified.

The feeling of being eaten by snails should be more terrifying than Ling Chi's execution. It can be seen that Tian Shiqing has a deep resentment towards Mr. Zhang. If he hadn't been killed by him, Lin Sheng really couldn't think of any explanation.

Zhang Jiu's face was full of sadness, and Xiaoyue jumped to No.1 overnight, probably Tian Shiqing's "Love House and Wu". Since she has killed Mr. Zhang, a scumbag, she will definitely not let Xiaoyue go.

Remembering that Wang Xin died because of trying to attack that ghost boy, Zhang Jiu was at a loss for what to do.

When the few people were talking, Wu Zian was absent-minded. Lin Sheng guessed that she was waiting for the system to prompt to start the punishment.

The system said that every time an NPC dies, the captain of the security team will receive corresponding physical damage. Lin Sheng has always been skeptical about the ambiguity of the system. He doesn't know what kind of physical damage it is. Now is the time to reveal the answer.

Zhang Jiu pulled Xiaoyue aside and refused to let her go back to 703. At this moment, Wu Zian suddenly took out a puppet doll out of thin air.

Lin Sheng has been paying attention to her silently. At this time, he also realized that Wu Zian must have received a system prompt. In order to deal with the punishment, she decided to use props.

The puppet doll looked very old, the position of the head simply carved out the appearance of the face, Wu Zi'an did not shy away from the crowd, she held the puppet in front of her, closed her eyes and waited.

Suddenly, the whole body of the puppet trembled, and Wu Zian trembled. The strong vibration from her hand made her eyes widen.

Under the eyes of everyone, a deep scratch appeared on the back of the puppet, and there was a burnt smell of burning wood in the air.

From Lin Sheng's standing angle, he could see that the expression of the puppet doll had clearly changed after that—the originally straight lines became drooping downwards, with a feeling of dejection, which should be caused by the system's punishment on the doll. serious damage.

Wu Zian turned the puppet back and looked at the deep scratch on the back, she was terrified.

Fortunately, he used a stand-in prop, otherwise he would have suffered the wound if it fell on him.

But it seems that the puppet doll can be used again at most.

Wu Zian didn't feel distressed about this, she took the puppet back, and said to everyone looking at her: "Okay, the punishment is over."

Zhang Jiu couldn't help being dumbfounded. Hearing this tone, it turned out that he didn't take the system's punishment into consideration at all.

Wu Zi'an is the vice president of Heart of Rose, and he probably has countless props in his hand, just taking out a few of them can keep her safe and sound.

But if the same punishment happened to a rookie, I'm afraid they would have to risk their lives to bear it.

The strong contrast made Zhang Jiu feel bored for a while. It is really too difficult for a helpless newcomer to survive in "Sky Screen".

Thinking of this, Zhang Jiu gradually understood why some people didn't want to be the captain of the security guard. The cut was quite deep. If he used his flesh and blood to bear it, he might die from excessive blood loss.

Zhang Jiu raised his head to look at Lin Sheng, only to see Lin Sheng whispering to Dai Yi again, Zhang Jiu's mood became visibly anxious.

At first, he thought that Lin Sheng didn't want to be the captain of the security team because he was out of his mind, but now he realizes that he is very sensible.

On the contrary, it was me who had been confused since the first game.

Now, Xiaoyue is very likely to be the next NPC to die, Zhang Jiu is very anxious but doesn't know how to protect her.

I obviously have four teammates, but Chen Qi and Wu Zian are in the same group, and Dai Yi is always whispering to Lin Sheng that only he is excluded, only he is alone!

Facing the huge danger, Zhang Jiu felt like a small boat on the stormy sea, maybe in the next second, he and the boat would sink to the bottom of the sea!

She was about to break down.

Zhang Jiu suddenly felt very depressed. Fear mixed with a deep sense of powerlessness almost overwhelmed her.

She finally understood Wang Xin's feelings, but she didn't want to end up like Wang Xin.

Looking at Lin Sheng, Zhang Jiu felt that he had to do something.

The author says:

There are 25600 teeth in the small mouth of the snail, which is the animal with the most teeth in the world.

The way Mr. Zhang died was thought up by me waking up in the middle of the night listening to the little snails I raised gnaw on the cabbage. I was terrified at the time...
