Cheng Miao went out to take a look and saw that Ergou was holding an old-fashioned radio that he found somewhere.
I don’t know how long it took but I could still hear music on the radio.
Cheng Miao took the radio and changed a few channels, but everything else was just rustling noise.
This station has been playing a sad song hummed by a woman, and there is no message other than horror.
For peace of mind, Cheng Miao simply turned off the battery.
Unable to delay any longer, Cheng Miao originally planned to take the NPCs upstairs together. Regardless of whether they were trigger points, he was daring in large numbers.
Unexpectedly, several children were frightened by the skeleton just now, and were frightened by the song on the radio.
Now all the ambitions of punishing evil and promoting good to find clues about the missing children have been wiped out. Seeing that Cheng Miao is still going up, he keeps shaking his head and insists on going home.
Cheng Miao didn't notice anyone, and the others ran out with a "squeak" sound.
Cheng Miao chased them into the yard, only to find that the originally open door had been closed tightly...
The iron door seemed to have been shut out of thin air. It was obviously not locked, but the three children couldn't push it open even though their faces were red.
Cheng Miao stepped forward and tried it, but there was no shaking at all. It seemed that the game was not over and no one, not even the NPC, could get out.
Seeing that several children were about to cry again, Cheng Miao had a headache and coaxed and frightened them, so he stopped them.
After being assured that Cheng Miao would definitely take them out, several people surrounded the old hen Cheng Miao like chickens.
Cheng Miao:......That doesn't have to be the case.
While Cheng Miao was comforting several children, a sound came from the yard, which was originally as silent as a still old photo, as if it suddenly came to life.
"Shua...shua...shua..."
Cheng Miao's hair stood on end with her back to the yard. What came from behind was...
The sound of a child jumping rope!
The sound produced by the rope and the air, the "dong...dong..." sound of the child taking off and landing, and even the almost inaudible laughter of the little girl.
Cheng Miao's back was wet with cold sweat. He cursed in his heart that this was indeed a supernatural copy. He tilted his head and looked back with a serious look on his face.
There is nothing behind you...
After she turned her head, even the sudden sound disappeared, leaving only a few traces of rotting leaves on the ground.
Cheng Miao's heart sank. This was caused by the friction between the rope and the ground when someone jumped rope.
"Sister Miaomiao...what's wrong?" Huzi looked at Cheng Miaru facing a powerful enemy and looked behind her strangely.
"Didn't you hear anything?" Cheng Miao raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"What did you hear...wuwuwu, don't scare us!" Seeing Ergou start to cry again, Cheng Miao said helplessly that he heard wrongly, and then the man stopped.
It seems that either the danger in the dungeon is only for players, or it is not serious enough for the NPC to notice, but no matter which one it is, it is very detrimental to Cheng Miao.
Now that they can't get out, the children can only continue to stay in this place even if they are unwilling to do so.
But no matter how Cheng Miao tried to coax them, several people were unwilling to go upstairs and expressed their willingness to stay in the consulting room and wait for Cheng Miao.
…Don’t you think the consulting room is scarier?
Cheng Miao, who had spent all his time and was unable to save his life, realized that this might be a plot requirement, and the rest of the plot could only be played by the player himself.
Walking in the dark corridor, Cheng Miao thought that the little girl named Liu Xue was indeed a breakthrough point. In the photo, she was the only one holding a skipping rope. He would focus on room 402 later.
The security doors on both sides of the third floor were locked tightly, and the floors above the fourth floor were sealed by iron gates. The clues should only be on the second and fourth floors.
As expected, it is the difficulty level of Novice Village. It basically lays out the places with clues for players to find.
Out of Liu Xue's importance, Cheng Miao opened the door of 402 first.
This is a very warm and well-organized room. Although the furniture in the room is old, it has been carefully covered with covers. There is also a vase on the coffee table with a few rotten flowers of unknown variety inserted in it.
The walls are covered with children's handiwork, and the most painted ones are family photos. There is a man and a woman, and in the middle is a little girl with double ponytails and a red skirt holding a skipping rope.
There is a photo next to the withered flowers on the dining table. Liu Xue's parents are hugging her happily.
Cheng Miao finally saw Liu Xue's appearance clearly. She was indeed a beautiful little girl. She was waving her bunny ears and looking at the camera with a grin.
In Liu Xue's small bedroom, Cheng Miao found the most useful clue so far, a diary.
After making sure that no other clues were missed, Cheng Miao sat on the sofa and read through the diary.
"On April 8, brother Qiqi disappeared downstairs. His parents were very anxious and cried for a long time. I hope brother Qiqi will dare to come back."
"On June 14, Brother Qiqi's parents called Aunt Li a human trafficker. Aunt Li was very sad, so I gave her a candy."
"On July 2, Aunt Li was taken away by several uncles. I don't know when she will come back."
"On July 30, Aunt Li came back."
"On August 15, sister Wenwen also disappeared."
"On September 4, my parents said that Aunt Li was an old girl and that the old girl was not a good thing. They wouldn't let me play with Aunt Li. I was unhappy."
"On October 23, I had a stomachache today. My father took me to Brother Xu's house to see a doctor. Brother Xu gave me medicine and praised me for looking good."
"On January 22, Brother Xu gave me candy again. I like him."
"It's my birthday today, March 9th. My mother bought me a red crotch. I like it very much. My parents went to work, and Aunt Li asked me to go and play with her, but I agreed to go to Brother Xu first."
The diary ends here. Cheng Miao looked at the crooked handwriting and fell into deep thought. From this point of view, another key person is Aunt Li who lives in 401.
People in Minsheng Lane had already suspected that Aunt Li was related to the disappearance of the children. On July 2, Liu Xue saw that it was the police who took Aunt Li away. Since Aunt Li is back, it means that the suspect is not her or there is insufficient evidence.
Cheng Miao took the diary with her and was about to go to 401 to take a look when a rustling sound suddenly came from the originally empty bedroom.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
The woman's heartbroken cries, the man's heavy sighs and pacing back and forth brought echoes in the somewhat empty room.
Cheng Miao held the diary tightly, walked quietly to the door of Liu Xue's bedroom and poked her head.
The room that was originally filled with dust now seems to have returned to the way it was once inhabited.
A woman who looked very haggard and vicissitudes of life was crying heartbrokenly while holding a stuffed doll beside the bed. A man with slightly frosty temples was sitting next to the woman and coaxing her softly.
After a while, the woman cried and was about to go out with a stack of missing persons notices, but was stopped by the man. The two got into a heated argument, which ended with the woman slamming her bedroom door.
Looking at the man covering his face and crying, Cheng Miao's sympathy was greater than his fear, "Hello..."
Seeing that the man had no reaction, Cheng Miao walked closer and asked again: "Is there any stranger who appeared nearby before Liu Xue disappeared?"
The strange thing is that the man seemed not to have heard and sobbed to himself.
Cheng Miao narrowed her eyes and reached out to the man.
