The answer was ready to come out, but Li Yi remained calm. So far, he has not triggered any tasks or related clues. This means that these "people" who suddenly appear should belong to the mechanical model of this adventure space.
The so-called mechanical model is an explanation made by Li Yi based on the routine behavior of existing people and things in the adventure space. In his summary, this kind of people and things that operate according to certain rules are part of the basic structure that constitutes the adventure space. For players, this inherent regular pattern will be of great help to future adventures if they are memorized by heart. Therefore, generally speaking, he will not deliberately destroy this model.
So he pretended to be curious and asked: "Oh? It seems that I came at the right time. Can you give me a general introduction? After all, this is the first time I have set foot on this land, and I am very interested in everything. Since the two Everyone is here, as a travel writer, I prefer bizarre experiences, and whoever says it better will welcome his first guest tonight."
The meaning is already obvious. I will follow whoever tells more ghost stories and more bizarre stories.
After all, he was looking for clues, and the only ones he could rely on at the moment were these two people who suddenly appeared. Of course, he won by quantity. The more information he got, the greater the chance of triggering the mission and getting clues.
However, two landlords appeared at the same time to "entertain" him, which he did not expect.
Normally, one person should take the risk, and a ghost rents a house to "entertain" an outsider. Even if several people appear at the same time, it should still be one person. Why do two people suddenly appear? He also made a prompt decision and sent the tools to his door. He only paid two at a time, so he didn't use them in vain.
Obviously, in this situation, even the person who spoke first was a little confused: It was agreed that one ghost would lead one person, but a competitor suddenly appeared. The atmosphere of the ghost story was transformed into a wet market. No? And this one too, there are many people who like excitement, and there is a saying that the more the better? Are you afraid that you are not looking for ghosts to have fun because of your insomnia?
Seeing that these two people had not made any move, Li Yi couldn't help but feel a little funny. He coughed lightly and said, "Well... I'll just say this. If you two are embarrassed to compete with each other, how about... I'll come back tomorrow." ?”
These words immediately stimulated the two fellow ghosts.
Colleagues are enemies, and ghosts are no exception, right?
The one who spoke first still had the upper hand this time: Speaking of our place, the most famous one is Sarah’s House. Almost all tourists who come here come here for it. There are at least twenty people there. I checked in, but no one could come out. Even after searching the whole house, I couldn't find any missing people. The strange thing is that every time night falls, these missing people will appear at the same time, working and studying as usual. , life, as usual, looks no different from ordinary people. Of course, if someone dares to talk to them, or even is invited to go, the next day, you will find that that person has also disappeared without a trace, completely No trace could be found.
When he said this, he paused deliberately and changed his tone. The sound sounded closer and farther away, as if he was deliberately creating a terrifying atmosphere.
"As time goes by, people living in the town will gradually forget that such a person once existed. Of course, this is also a common thing. After all, time can make people forget everything... But if someone is willing to go If you search the files of missing persons, you will find something strange."
It was only now that Li Yicai finally saw the man's appearance clearly. He had an ordinary appearance, wearing a brown dome hat. He was tall and thin, and his lips were moving. Under the dusk, his face was completely lifeless.
With a little makeup, he would be a perfect zombie. Why not find a better-looking one to introduce him to the dungeon? Li Yi was complaining in his heart, but continued to listen with pretended curiosity.
"There is no record of this person in any of the files. Even his former relatives and family members have no memory of him at all. It's like this person has never existed."
As soon as he finished speaking, almost at the same time as the thoughts in Li Yi's mind, a clue and related tasks appeared.
[Looking for tenants who have appeared in the past]
[The people who once appeared in Sally House have gone somewhere. Can you find them? 】
[If you succeed in the mission, you will get the next clue to clear the level. If you fail, you will be the next one and be left in Sally's House forever.]
Tsk, it’s another series of missions. It seems that at least today I can’t go back.
In fact, I was complaining, but I was still a little happy in my heart. I was lucky, and the mission was triggered as soon as I arrived. But what does this mission mean? After a person disappears, will the images that remain in the family's memory, and even the files and information of the person involved, disappear together?
Isn't this equivalent to disappearing from the world in a real sense? interesting.
Li Yi quickly became interested and pulled the zombie gentleman to ask questions. Seeing that the tourist was interested, the tool man who acted as a plot narrator smiled at his competitor as if showing off. , continued.
"Yes, it has completely disappeared. For this reason, there are fewer and fewer people in the town. I don't know since when, there are only a few families in the town, including me and the person next to me. Bit."
Li Yi nodded: So you publicize this kind of weird thing to attract tourists to come looking for excitement and make a living?
"You are really discerning. In fact, we wanted to move away at that time, but for some reason, one day, Aunt Martha's family suddenly renovated their house and put up a sign. Well, it's the house in front. It was the first B&B in town, the one opened by Aunt Martha.”
Following his gaze, Li Yi saw nothing. Wherever he looked, he could only see the mist before night shrouding the surroundings. No buildings could be seen within a hundred meters, only Several weird-shaped shadows vaguely emerged, making people feel uneasy.
"Yes, that's the direction you're looking at. Hey, sir, why don't you settle down quickly? I've already seen Aunt Martha going out. If she comes to steal the guests, we'll be too embarrassed to fight her." Wan looked at Li Yi with burning eyes and held him tightly with one hand, fearing that he would run away.
Li Yi didn't realize it and said with a smile: Okay, let's do that. I'll go to your place tonight and talk about it tomorrow. By the way, do you have any rules in this town? I'm new here. It would be bad if I broke any rules. Please tell me.
Mr. Toolman glanced sideways at Li Yi and showed a strange smile: "This gentleman is really well-informed. There are few guests as sensible as you. To be honest, there are some rules in this town. Of course, these are all It was Aunt Martha who decided it, so why was she the one who started this tourist business?
Listening to the other party's endless chatter, Li Yi quickly got the information he wanted. Taking advantage of the other party's pause, he interrupted and said that he wanted to visit the founder of the tourism business, also known as Mr. Tool Man. When he mentioned Aunt Martha, the other party looked embarrassed. When Li Yi asked him the reason, the other party said this.
"We never visited Aunt Martha, only she came to us."
