As evening approached, Yang Xiao checked into a B&B in the town. In fact, Yang Xiao originally wanted to visit a few more to compare, but the lady boss who was soliciting customers outside the door was too enthusiastic and almost dragged Yang Xiao into her B&B. "Handsome guy, don't leave." , our B&B is the most unique in this town, so I’ll give you the best room, the original price is 500, and I’ll give you a 50% discount!”
"100, or I'll find someone else's house."
Yang Xiao took out a red banknote with an indifferent attitude. The landlady was clearly treating him as a fat sheep. There were not many tourists in the town, and the price of B&Bs was very low in the off-season.
But when he saw the landlady snatching the banknotes and grinning from ear to ear, Yang Xiao knew that he had given him too much.
The landlady who came in for business was in a good mood. Yang Xiao didn't rush into the room. He just sat downstairs and chatted with the landlady, inquiring about the news.
The proprietress poured herself and Yang Xiao a cup of tea each, and the conversation started, "Hey~, this Fengmen Town is actually a treasure land, with mountains and rivers, but for some reason, it just can't develop."
"The people in charge of the local affairs have put a lot of effort into attracting investment. Farmhouses have emerged in the past few years, and many of them have been built in the town. As a result, when it was booming, the largest one suddenly caught fire at night, killing many people. The subsequent provinces Safety inspections in the city are going on one after another, and by the time the inspections are over, the trend of farmhouses will have almost passed, and city people will have new ways of having fun."
"Then someone with a bright mind started selling stones secretly. The town was close to a mountain and there was nothing else. There were plenty of stones. It stands to reason that everyone was doing it secretly. In fact, it didn't matter much. But we were lucky enough to survive, and something happened again."
"A stone mountain in the quarry collapsed, and many large stones rolled down. Not only did the machinery and vehicles smash it, but they also crushed people to death. The matter was not suppressed, and the family members brought it to the province. Now the stones are also being sold. It didn’t work, and many people were punished.”
"We can't build a farmhouse and a quarry. Forget it. The town wants to play it safe and attract investment. There is a lot of open space in the town. We are thinking of building a factory. We finally found a big boss. We are almost done talking about the factory. The site selection and investment scale were all agreed upon, but guess what, hey, on the way back from the town, the boss' car overturned and rolled off the cliff. Five people, including the big boss, were all dead. ”
The wife of the boss sighed, "It's said that the scene has been miserable. The corpses are mixed together, and you can't tell who is who without looking at the clothes. Once the boss dies, the matter of building the factory will naturally come to an end."
Seemingly getting excited, the landlady winked at Yang Xiao and lowered her voice in a mysterious manner: "Brother, do you know where the factory site chosen by the boss is?"
Yang Xiao had probably guessed it, but he still followed the landlady and said, "I don't know."
"Oh, it's the ruins of the flour mill in the west of the town!" After saying this, the proprietress covered her chest with fear and turned her head to look at the door warily, "There are some things that you outsiders don't know about, but I But let me tell you, you can wander around the town as long as you like, but don’t go to the abandoned factory in the west, that place is evil and the locals avoid it."
"Don't ask me why. It's dark now, and I'm scared to talk about those things. If you are interested, you can search online. I can only tell you that there are not so many coincidences in this world, and many things said on the Internet are true. .”
Yang Xiao pretended to be scared but curious, "So...the things you just mentioned, the farmhouse, the quarry, and the boss who fell off the cliff..."
Nodding, the landlady subconsciously tightened her fur coat with her hands and lowered her voice, "Some people say that it was the abandoned factory that caused the trouble. The factory was so resentful that it ruined the town's feng shui. It is rumored that I have visited several Feng Shui masters before and after, but there was no good solution. I just temporarily sealed the two wells inside and buried a few town objects."
Thinking of the well he saw, with a "Bodhisattva's head" pressing down on the well's mouth, Yang Xiao knew that what the landlady said was true.
It could be seen that the landlady was a little scared at this point in the conversation, so she quickly ended the chat and urged Yang Xiao to go upstairs to rest early. She also reminded him that the shower upstairs was broken and he could not take a bath for the time being. She would boil two pots of boiling water for him. Go up.
The landlady was a little embarrassed when she mentioned that she couldn't take a shower. After all, she didn't mention it when she first brought Yang Xiao in. But what puzzled her was that Yang Xiao's face looked surprisingly good, "Is the shower broken? It doesn't matter."
Yang Xiao walked up the squeaky wooden stairs and walked to his room. He was quite surprised. This room was decorated in an antique style with old-fashioned double-open wooden doors. Behind the door was a square wooden table. There are two old benches beside it.
Inside, next to the wall, is a wooden bed. The quilt is also the kind from a costume TV series, made of imitation brocade, with red and green mandarin ducks embroidered on it.
Putting down his backpack and sitting by the bed, Yang Xiao was charging his phone while thinking about the information he had collected so far. The things mentioned in the weird script were appearing around him little by little, including Fengmen Town, the opera, and that woman. .....
No, it should be a female ghost. After all, it is a ghost show.
It was impossible to sleep tonight. In addition to worrying about the elusive woman finding him again, he had new worries.
That fake security guard.
What is his origin?
Not long ago, after realizing that there was something wrong with the fake security guard, Yang Xiao immediately had a guess in his mind. If he was counted as a player in the Fengmen ghost drama script, then the fake security guard would also be the same. He also received the ghost script.
After thinking about it, Yang Xiao believed that this possibility was very high, and once this premise was established, it meant that in addition to the two of them, there were five other people in this horror game.
Who are these people?
Where are you now?
Could it be that all 7 people are in this town, but he hasn't discovered the others yet?
Yang Xiao didn't like this feeling of unpredictable future. According to his understanding of the script killing, the player characters in it did not belong to the same camp. In some extreme moments, the final victory would be considered by killing all the characters from other camps.
Yang Xiao didn't know the other players, but the fake security guard was obviously well prepared. He was either an old player or someone had taken care of him. Whichever one was not good news for him now.
There are not enough clues, and Yang Xiao can only deduce these for the time being. The more he thinks about it, the more uneasy he becomes. He did not pay attention to hiding his identity during the day, which also led to the fact that he is now likely to be exposed and being targeted. He couldn't tell what would happen next.
The only solution for now is to take one step at a time.
The next second, Yang Xiao raised his head suddenly. The door suddenly rang, and someone knocked on the door again and again.
