The final division of labor was roughly like this. Cheng Miao was responsible for setting the fire, and would deal with this scumbag after waiting for him to come to him on the island.
Qi Jiajia and Qiu Dong were responsible for being the tail, following Cheng Miao to ensure that she would not have any accidents.
Qin Musong and Jiang Chen are responsible for dealing with the ghost of Xizi who may appear.
Lin Zhu took Xiaowen and Yunsu to open the door. Once the time was up, he opened the door and let the players out.
Gu Jian is responsible for watching the fun.
Everyone has the experience of being affected by hallucinations, so except for Xiaowen, who is still immersed in the shadow of Xiaoqing's death, everyone spontaneously collects the dolls scattered throughout the castle, and then piles the dolls into the doll studio. .
Everyone agreed not to ask each other for help, not to suddenly appear next to others, and to be responsible for their own area.
Therefore, although everyone was more or less involved in hallucinations, there were no casualties caused by reckless touching of paintings.
The doll room was packed before dinner. Lin Zhu gave the room key to Cheng Miao, and Cheng Miao also exchanged the door key with him.
The players waiting in the living room are nervous and hungry. They haven't eaten all day.
Qi Jiajia has also finished her marshmallows. The dungeon only allows small things like this to be brought in, marshmallows, Qian Ming’s fruit candies...
Not even the big steamed buns sent by Brother Cockroach were brought in.
I don't know how long it took, but Cheng Miao heard the sound of footsteps. Xiaodao's face was so heavy that it could drip. He staggered and pushed a cake cart over.
Cheng Miao sharply saw bandages wrapped around Xiaodao's chest and abdomen, with bright red blood stains on them.
It seems that Dr. Xu was indeed seriously injured, and it also proved that Xiaodao can be killed.
But this is also a trap in the dungeon. If the player fails to find a way to solve the problem for a long time and kills the NPC, he will not be able to celebrate Xizi's birthday. If he fails to meet the conditions for leaving, he will be trapped here forever.
Now that his face has been broken, Kojima didn't even bring down the Yuko doll. There was an exquisite cake on his cart, with red jam written on it: Happy birthday to my dear Yuko.
Candles on the cake, 28.
Cheng Miao was distractedly thinking, wondering how old Xizi was when she died. She encountered unkind people at such a young age.
"My dear guests..."
Cheng Miao couldn't get used to Xiaodao's gritted teeth and fake intimacy. She interrupted the man directly and asked what she was interested in, "You should really love each other, why did you kill her."
Xiao Dao's face became even more gloomy. He looked at Cheng Miao sadly for a long time. He didn't know whether it was the loneliness accumulated over the years or the fear, but he spoke.
"Any relationship is worthless in the face of money and status. What's more, she is just an unknown painter in the village. I have to bear too much gossip when we are together."
"Then you still let her get pregnant." Cheng Miao tore off the last fig leaf of the island with unceremonious words. His expression changed for a while and then became calm again.
"It makes no sense to say anything now. I have already paid the price for my actions. I have been trapped in this damn castle for three years. There is not a day that I can go out to see the outside world, and there is not a day that I can shine in the sunshine of the past. .”
Xiaodao looked out the window at the endless black, with an expression he didn’t know whether to be disgusted or frightened. “I keep company with these dolls that are neither human nor ghosts every day, and look at the terrifying oil painting she painted. I have been doing this every day for the past three years. Do you know how a day goes by?!”
Cheng Miao didn't answer, because she had done something wrong, but she thought of another question, "How old was your child when Xizi died?"
It stands to reason that Kojima has killed two people, but so far only the ghost of Yuko has appeared, and that child...
"It's only two months." Kojima mentioned his former child without any guilt or pity on his face, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
Cheng Miao understood that such a young child should only be regarded as an embryo, without thoughts and feelings, and could not generate strong resentment and become a resentful spirit.
Then the only person they have to deal with is Xizi.
"Okay, let's sing Happy Birthday." Xiaodao didn't know what he thought of, and his face looked better, and there was even a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Xiaowen huddled in the crowd. She wanted to pull someone, and Yunsu stretched out his hand to her.
"It's okay, we're all here." There was a touch of sandalwood on Yunsu's body, which calmed down Xiaowen's panic.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."
Cheng Miao swore that this was the most eerie birthday song she had ever sung in her life. The candlelight was flickering, and the male host, whose face was as ugly as that of a dead person, was already the hostess of a dead person.
Cheng Miao felt that she was going to have a shadow over her birthday.
Just after the last word trembled in the player's mouth, a cold wind swept from nowhere and blew out the candles, and the castle fell into darkness.
"Hahaha, none of you can escape! She will kill you all!"
Xiao Dao's maniacal laughter came from the darkness, but Cheng Miao ignored it and took Qi Jiajia and ran towards the puppet studio on the third floor.
Lin Zhu and Yunsu took Xiaowen and opened the door. Although Xiaodao knew that the player would not wait for death in peace, he was caught off guard by their sudden actions.
At this time, the temperature in the castle dropped sharply, as if it were a cold and snowy day. Everyone knew that Xizi's taboo was lifted.
But everyone chose to make a desperate move. Cheng Miao and the others did so because they believed in Jiang Chen and Qin Musong, and Yunsu and Xiaowen did so because they had no other choice.
Xiaodao originally thought that Cheng Miao was out of his mind, so he ran upstairs.
But not long after, the sky-high firelight appeared on the third floor, illuminating his half-angry face.
Who would have thought that even if he was about to die, Cheng Miao would burn his doll!
Kojima's love for Yuko may be adulterated, but his obsession with dolls is genuine.
Now seeing that many years of hard work had been destroyed, Xiao Dao rushed towards Cheng Miao like a madman to fight for his life.
Qin Musong and Jiang Chen looked at Xizi slowly crawling out of the largest painting in the living room. She was still wearing the floral dress she had worn when she died, but it was soaked in blood and soil, and her original color was almost invisible.
Xizi's neck seemed to be broken, her head hung low, and there were water plants hanging on her black hair, exuding a fishy smell.
Her limbs were twisted, folded behind her as if broken, and she crawled out on her knees and elbows.
Qin Musong had no intention of waiting for Xizi to climb out before taking action. The hawk-eye gun fired a long string of bullets in an instant, exploding bloody holes one after another in Xizi's body.
Xizi was only beaten and took two steps back, but her soul did not dissipate.
Jiang Chen tapped the civilized staff twice on the ground, and the gem on the civilized staff exploded into a fiery flame. Jiang Chen lowered his eyes in the firelight and looked coldly at Xizi who was half-climbing out of the painting.
