"Chapter 1: Worship End"
As the subtitles appear, the perspective switches again.
Li Qingwan suddenly realized that the ground beneath her feet had turned into dirt, and the surrounding brick roofs made her realize that she was already in a village.
Ning Zifu's monologue sounded again.
"I searched the whole hotel and couldn't find Mo Qi."
"So I came to Zangling Village, which is also Mo Qi's hometown. Why did she let me come here? Will my questions be answered here? This is all too weird."
"Mo Qi and I don't go back to Zangling Village often. People feel uncomfortable here, and there are strange customs in the village."
"Moreover, when I entered the village, I only saw the old lady at the door, not any villagers."
This is the change of Jiang Yan's choice after careful consideration!
In the original work of "Paper Wedding Dress", weren't there a lot of rush plots? Since the long travel time in a live-action game would tire the audience, couldn't he just cut this section off?
Directly switching scenes is also a commonly used method in games.
As for the transition in the middle, just use a monologue to explain it, and I believe the audience will understand it.
Sure enough, no one in the barrage had any doubts, and they were all looking forward to the plot.
In the game, Li Qingwan, who was finally able to move freely, hesitated for a moment and walked towards the only villager here.
She was an old woman with her hair tied up in red cloth and a gloomy wrinkled face, as if she didn't like anyone.
Li Qingwan walked over, and sure enough, Ning Zifu's voice asking for directions was triggered.
But the old lady let out a cold laugh: "Hahahaha, it's so interesting that there are young people running around wearing groom's clothes during the Ghost Festival. Are they possessed by evil spirits? Or are they crazy?"
Ning Zifu's confused monologue also rang out: "The time on the phone is actually the Ghost Festival on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month!"
【Hungry Ghost Festival? what is that? 】
[The Hungry Ghost Festival is an ancient ancestor worship festival, but later it evolved into another meaning, which is the Ghost Festival. It is said that on the day of Zhongyuan, the gates of hell will open wide]
[Let me go, does this mean that it is easy for the male protagonist to hit ghosts in his wedding clothes?]
[I’ve already covered myself in the quilt, but I’m still feeling cold]
[Don’t you think this old woman’s laughter is also evil? I was fishing in the office, and with a shake of my hand, I poured half a pot of tea into my boss’s hands]
[I thought I was already resistant after experiencing "Witch's House"...but it turns out I'm still just as scared]
"No, today should be July 16th. How could I get such an important date wrong..."
Ning Zifu's voice was panicked, "Have you seen Mo Qi? Today was originally the day she and I got married."
The old woman rolled her cloudy eyes, and sneered mercilessly: "Is he really the bridegroom? A foreign son-in-law like you can't even enter the ancestral grave in this unlucky village, so he can only be buried in the back mountain."
[My old mouth is covered with honey]
[Let me go, did these really exist in ancient times? It’s still compiled by the author]
[Yes, yes, many villages used to have their own strange customs. Moreover, according to the concept of ancient people, burial in ancestral graves is a very serious matter]
[It’s different now. I’ve made a reservation for a fully automatic burial at sea, and I’ve chosen which sea area I want. When the time comes, there will be a small robot that will pour my ashes down. I’ve seen it, and there’s a starfish nest next to it]
Li Qingwan was not angry.
Although this old woman has a venomous mouth, she revealed a lot of information during the chat and is obviously an important NPC.
She talked to the old woman for a few more words, and then Li Qingwan learned that the old woman was a midwife from a neighboring village.
She sometimes came to this village to deliver babies, so she had an impression of Mo Qi's name, but she didn't know where she went afterwards.
Afterwards, the old woman persuaded Ning Zi to go home and her tone became serious.
[Go back, this life is not clean. You see, everyone in this village has disappeared, why are you still looking for someone? "
This was obviously a warning.
After all, in such a remote village, it was still the Ghost Festival, and even the villagers had left. Who knew what taboos Ning Zi would commit if he obeyed an ordinary person?
Even if you die here, no one will know.
Afterwards, she stopped paying attention to Ning Zifu and began to close her eyes and rest.
"Then it seems like this old lady should be the NPC who provides plot clues..."
As Li Qingwan spoke, he saw the old woman closing her eyes and there was something next to her.
She couldn't hold it back and reached out to get it.
What if it’s a puzzle-solving prop?
As a result, the old lady opened her eyes angrily and slapped her hand away: "What are you doing? You really think I'm blind, don't you?"
Isn't it an NPC? Why aren't you allowed to get props?
When I ransacked the room before and stole things in front of the characters, they didn't react...
Li Qingwan pursed his lips, feeling a little aggrieved.
She silently moved away from the old woman and walked to the next room.
In these rooms, she first found a book with the order of changing the tablets, which reminded her to go to the cemetery.
Later, she met a child wearing a paint hood. He stopped at the window without saying a word and only talked to her with his paintings.
There are several things on the painting, and the child is walking on stilts that are as high as two people.
Clearly, this is another piece of the puzzle.
Li Qingwan was asked to find all these things before he could enter the room.
While Li Qingwan was focusing on solving the puzzle, Jiang Yuan was already covered in sweat in front of the screen.
His hands began to shake, but Professor Wei next to him still refused to let him go, jabbing his finger on the screen, and said in a stern tone: "Let me ask you, why do I say that the clothes of this kid on stilts were deliberately done by the developer? "
How do I know this?
What if it was done casually, wouldn't it?
Jiang Yuan felt like a poor candidate who was forced to take reading comprehension questions. He had to say three points and explain them point by point for the phrase "a strange light flashed in the fish's eyes".
It's a pity that this child's clothes were really done by Jiang Yan on purpose.
Professor Wei sighed and finally gave the answer: "In ancient times, the normal clothing was the right gusset, and the left gusset was worn for mourning or for the deceased."
"You mean the child is dead? What kind of thing buried in the soil is pretending to be a corpse?"
Jiang Yuan was surprised and felt a chill in his body.
This developer really pays attention to every detail...
Thinking of this, he immediately enthusiastically posted what Professor Wei had just said to the barrage to popularize science. Sure enough, it also aroused a burst of screams in the barrage, and everyone told the science popularizers to get out of the live broadcast room.
Seeing that these people were just as frightened as him and barraging wildly, Jiang Yuan suddenly felt much better.
It’s better to have fun alone than to have fun together!
Professor Wei next to him did not stop him, but stared at the screen thoughtfully: "This developer is a bit interesting. Although most of the content is within the scope of funeral culture, you can also see his knowledge of traditional culture. Very deep.”
Jiang Yuan nodded repeatedly.
He boasts that he has learned quite a lot of professional knowledge, but he didn't even react just now. Doesn't that prove that Jiang Yan is very accomplished in this area?
"Okay, I'll test you again later. If you can't answer the question, you'll be punished by copying."
Professor Wei gave him a sharp look.
Then, he stood up and walked to the whiteboard in front of the classroom.
This is what it means to give a lecture.
In the live broadcast room, Li Qingwan also said the same thing as Professor Wei.
