He threw his backpack on the table diagonally opposite to Xi Yu's and sat down with his shoulders crossed.
The small wooden bench was overwhelmed and screamed in resistance.
The door is not closed.
Feeling Chen Guxue's pull, Xi Yu followed her gaze and looked towards the door.
An old woman with gray hair stood by the door, Xi Yu looked at her carefully.
The old woman was holding an oil lamp that was exactly the same as the one in the corner of the house. This should be the oil lamp that the fitness man tried his best to resist.
It is obviously not the first time that the fitness man has been involved in strange stories. Naturally, he will not accept something with such unclear meaning. Who can guarantee whether this thing will harm people or save people? No one dares to take this risk.
Noticing Xi Yu's gaze, the old woman who had her head lowered suddenly raised her head.
Like cataracts, the cloudy and unfocused eyes make people feel nervous when they look at people.
Xi Yu's left sleeve was tightened. Knowing that Chen Guxue was nervous, she hugged her sideways comfortingly and patted her back.
At this moment, the old woman also moved, her hunched body slowly walked into the room and sat at the head seat of the long table.
The oil lamp was placed before her.
Although the door was open, there was no wind in the room, but the flame of the oil lamp was still swaying, as if the spark would be blown out by the wind in the next second, and the room would fall into darkness if he was not careful.
"rule--"
A sound like a broken gong sounded in the quiet room.
"Attend dinner on time, dinner time: 18:00-18:30."
After saying this, there was no more sound, as if he was waiting for everyone to gather before announcing the remaining rules.
Hearing this, Xi Yu looked up at the time.
17:52
Eight minutes to go.
In addition to the three of them and the head seat, there are six empty seats at the long table.
The fitness man looked around after taking his seat, and when he saw Xi Yu and Xi Yu cuddling together, he let out a disdainful snort from his nostrils.
Not like the awkward and speechless person who had just entered the room.
Xi Yu secretly observed, sitting upright in his seat and watching the people arriving in the hut one after another.
The time came to 17:59.
Three men and two women.
There was still one person missing.
Xi Yu looked at the old woman in the main seat. The flame of the oil lamp was no longer as bright as before, and was burning more intensely. Looking through the firelight, the old woman's face seemed to be distorted.
Rapid footsteps sounded, and everyone looked towards the door. A girl with disheveled hair was running towards the hut as hard as she could.
She looked quite embarrassed, as if she had fallen or had just experienced a desperate struggle.
The white dress was full of dirt, with a few spots of blood in it.
"Time's up, dinner begins—"
A sound like a broken gong sounded the death knell for the girl.
The dilapidated wooden door closed with a sound, followed by the girl's hoarse howl.
Chen Guxue couldn't bear to close her eyes and turned her head to lean on Xi Yu's shoulder.
The old woman got up and took out eight plates of rice and an oil lamp from the compartment on the left.
The oil lamp was placed in an empty position.
Everyone looked at the rice in front of them, and then looked up at the expressions of others. No one dared to move their chopsticks.
"rule--"
"Attend breakfast, lunch and dinner on time, the times are 7:00-7:30; 11:00-11:30; 18:00-18:30."
"You are not allowed to leave the room after 20:00 at night."
"Watch your lamp and don't put it out."
Xi Yu was still analyzing the functions of these rules and how to deal with them in his mind, when the voice over there suddenly stopped.
After saying a few rules, the old woman hunched over and left the house.
"That's all gone? Just these few rules? How to get through this?!"
The fitness man was obviously angry and knocked on the table. The old-looking wooden table actually withstood the strong force without shaking at all. However, no one responded to his complaint.
Everyone looked at the table in front of them with gray faces in a daze.
Fewer rules means more things for them to explore on their own.
There are more dangers.
What's worse is that the information they get from the rules is not enough to support their next exploration, and it will be more difficult to find the key and the way out.
Seeing that no one spoke, the fitness man dug at the table angrily:
"Okay, okay, they're all dead! No one can escape!"
No one moved a word during dinner and nothing happened.
Everyone looked at each other speechless, "Then what should we do now? Just sit here?"
A long-haired woman has a charming face, but her eyes are very cold.
"I don't dare to go out during dinner time. Who knows what I will encounter!"
A man of medium height replied weakly.
"Why didn't you ask about the oil lamp? There is no oil lamp, just this one..."
Before he finished speaking, everyone's eyes were fixed on the only oil lamp on the table, which flickered on and off, and no one dared to act rashly.
Then the room fell into silence again.
Xi Yu observed several people calmly, only staying on the fitness man for a moment.
When the time came to 19:00, the old woman suddenly appeared in the corner, scaring several of them to the point of almost screaming.
Fortunately, the person next to him quickly covered his mouth with his hands.
"follow me."
A broken gong-like voice scratched the ears, making people more and more irritated.
The old woman led everyone to take away the only oil lamp on the table and led them all the way to another room.
Xi Yu wanted to understand the surrounding environment, but he couldn't. The surroundings were so dark that he couldn't even see his fingers.
Only the path led by the old lady ahead is clear.
Tour guide 04 rolled his head and reappeared: "Dear guest, why don't you let me 04 accompany you in this darkest moment!"
Xi Yu ignored 04 and just held Chen Guxue's hand tightly.
The new house is obviously much larger than the previous one.
As soon as he entered the door, Xi Yu was attracted by the girls guarding the door.
The two are twins, they are exactly the same from looks to clothes, they look like copied and pasted.
"Welcome all guests. Here are the keys to your rooms. Please arrange them yourself."
Arrange the keys on the table one by one and follow the old woman to leave.
Four rooms.
Xi Yu naturally lives in the same room as Chen Guxue.
Due to the irritable behavior of the fitness man just now, everyone was unwilling to live with him. They had to choose from many options, and in the end there was only one skinny boy who had no roommate.
"Tsk!" The fitness man said with disgust, "Don't hold me back."
Looking at the boy who is 1.65 meters tall and weighs no more than 100, he looks fragile.
Coupled with the too-long bangs and Japanese-style dress.
I couldn't help but feel a little gloomy in the wind.
It's hard to imagine how this man survives to this day.
If you are alone, your strength cannot be underestimated.
After the rooms were assigned, Xi Yu held Chen Guxue in one hand and held Tour Guide 04 in the other. There was also a monkey hanging on her body, which was very strange to have her family with her.
The room should have been unoccupied for a long time.
As soon as the door opened, we were greeted by a dusty atmosphere.
Xi Yu was disgusted and waved her hand to let Chen Guxue wait at the door for him to go in and investigate.
Apart from dust, there was nothing strange in the room. It was a simple wooden bed with an empty shelf, without even a sheet. There was an oil lamp on the table, and there didn't seem to be much oil in the lamp.
"It's your time to show off."
Xi Yu fell in love with the tour guide who had always been relying on her 04:
"Is there any cleaning project?"
"Of course there are customers, but the price is——"
"You know the worst thing I have right now is money."
"Okay!"
In the blink of an eye, the entire room seemed to have been thoroughly cleaned and was as tidy as new.
After feeling the power of money again, Xi Yu began to observe the room carefully.
