There was silence for a moment. Su Tingting, who had just woken up, heard a buzz in his mind and his heartbeat stopped. This sudden scene shocked everyone.
A minute or less later, the sound of water sounded again outside, just outside the window, but this time the sound became farther and farther away, and soon disappeared in the direction of the lake.
Several people did not dare to move until the sound completely disappeared. After waiting for a long time, Kuang Hongyi quietly approached the crack of the door and found that the fog outside had dispersed, and the candlelight in another room not far away also lit up. He breathed a long sigh of relief.
This seemed to be a signal. Until this moment, everyone finally dared to breathe normally.
Xu Su stood up first and slowly moved her numb joints. She had stayed in the same position for a long time.
"Woo...Woo..."
Yang Xiao also breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he notice Su Tingting staring at him with a resentful look, and quickly let go of his hand.
"What's the matter with you?" Kuang Hongyi stared down at Su Tingting, with a hint of inciting an accusation, "If it hadn't been for Brother Chu, you would have been in trouble. Thank you!"
Su Tingting covered the place where she was stabbed with tears in her eyes. On the ground was the murder weapon candlestick, "Thank you."
Yang Xiao waved his hand, "You are too polite."
Su Tingting watched as Yang Xiao smoothly inserted the broken candle back into the candlestick. His movements were mature and natural, as if he was very used to doing this kind of thing.
Several people lit the candles again, and the light dispersed the darkness, as if they had returned to the human world. "Don't worry too much, that thing has already been here. It's only the first night, and it should be fine." Kuang Hongyi said in the tone of a person who has experienced it. He said with relief.
"Everyone tidy up and get ready to rest." Xu Su took the candlestick that Yang Xiao handed over, relit the candle and put it on the table, "Old rule, someone must stay vigil in a place like this. Two people per shift, whoever keeps watch first Class one?"
Xu Su looked at Kuang Hongyi and said, after all, they are the only two experienced players here.
Kuang Hongyi moved his wrists and said dullly, "Let's do it this way. Each of us will lead a team. I'll go first. Brother Chu will follow me. Su Tingting is frightened. You can take her to rest first."
Xu Su didn't have any objections, but Su Tingting covered the injured part and walked with a limp, which was quite pitiful.
Xu Su rummaged around the room and finally found some ointment wrapped in oil paper in a wooden box under the bed. After roughly identifying it, he took Su Tingting and hid behind the bookcase to help her apply the medicine.
After a lot of trouble, Xu Su walked to a bed to rest. When he saw Su Tingting still following behind him pitifully, Xu Su frowned and said, "Go to the other bed and sleep by yourself!"
Su Tingting did not dare to offend Xu Su, so she had no choice but to walk to another bed pitifully. Because she was injured, she could only lie down on the bed. However, Yang Xiao knew that the previous incident had hit her hard, and it was impossible to sleep soundly tonight.
Yang Xiao and Kuang Hongyi sat around the table, faithfully performing the vigil mission. As time passed, Yang Xiao noticed that Xu Su, who was lying on the bed, was breathing steadily and seemed to have really fallen asleep.
"Brother Chu, I have offended many people in the flour mill before. I didn't know that you were one of the players this time. I thought you were a young man who came here to hunt for strange things. You also understand that there are weird things in that place." Kuang Hongyi's attitude was surprisingly kind. , picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Yang Xiao, as if familiar friends were having a chat.
"I know, brother is also good for me." Yang Xiao said politely.
Hearing Yang Xiao change his name to Kuang Hongyi, his lips widened and he was in a good mood, "Brother Chu is really a sensible person. It's fate that you and I meet here. If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Kuang from now on, and I'll call you Chu." Brother, we brothers will help each other more from now on."
After saying this, Kuang Hongyi glanced at Xu Su's bed, then moved closer and lowered his voice, saying mysteriously: "Brother Chu, I'm new here. There are some things in the script that you don't understand. The things that can kill people here are never just the kind of things just now, there are also There are people, don’t trust anyone in this world, whether it’s an NPC or a teammate.”
Yang Xiao pretended to be different, "Brother Kuang, what do you say?"
"Hey, it's impossible to escape unscathed when you come to a place like this. Someone has to be left here forever. There are no legal restrictions in this world. In order to survive, people will do anything." Kuang Hongyi spoke up. After a twist, "Of course, the best way is to find some like-minded friends to cooperate. This will greatly increase the chance of survival."
"Brother Chu, to tell you the truth, my true identity is a policeman." Kuang Hongyi sat upright, with a sudden sense of justice spreading throughout his body. "This is my third time in the script world. I still have some experience. What's wrong with me?" If you don’t understand, just ask me, and I’ll answer everything you know. By the way, Brother Chu, what do you do?”
Yang Xiao smiled bitterly, "I really work in a milk tea shop. I thought what you said at the beginning was all true."
Smiling, Kuang Hongyi still had the same polite attitude, but his eyes changed, "Brother Chu, you are joking. Can a man who works in a milk tea shop know about Uncle Zhi, and know it in such detail?"
"I like reading books when I have nothing to do. I am a secretary of folk Feng Shui. I am not a big deal on weird folk customs. I know a little bit about other things." Yang Xiao still has that sincere expression, making it hard for people to find fault.
Kuang Hongyi naturally didn't believe this statement, but he couldn't break his feelings directly, so he had to apologize and said with a smile: "I'm blind, I didn't expect that a small milk tea shop can actually be a crouching tiger, hidden dragon. I believe that if we work together, we will definitely be able to create a new one." A way out."
"I rely on Brother Kuang." Yang Xiao stretched out his hand with gratitude and held his two hands tightly together.
"Brother Kuang, what do you think of today's events?" Yang Xiao wanted to dig out some more useful information from Kuang Hongyi, an old player.
"Judging from the current situation, the Feng family must have done something outrageous and killed the guy just now. The other guy couldn't get rid of his resentment and turned into a ghost to seek revenge." Kuang Hongyi continued, "Also, before I also recorded a video when I was at the flour mill, but I didn’t capture anything useful. However, when I went back at night and played it back again, I could vaguely hear a vague singing voice in the background, which was very similar to the singing voice just now. picture."
"The name of this script is Fengmen Ghost Play." Yang Xiao reminded.
Kuang Hongyi nodded, "Yes, so if nothing else goes wrong, what we have to face this time is this opera singer ghost. When daybreak, we will divide our troops into several groups and try our best to find out the identity of this ghost before the sun sets. What evil deed did this Feng family do to cause the family to be destroyed?"
"By the way, brother Chu, be careful about Shi Dali, something is not right with him." Kuang Hongyi said seriously.
"How to say?"
"I suspect he has a life on his hands, more than one."
