Chapter 57: funeral
Standing in front of the station gate again, several players felt as if they were separated from each other, but only one day passed.
The golden characters of "Fengshan South Station" hang on the top of the station gate, spacious and clean gate, as if the station has just been completed and opened to traffic, the new and tidy appearance can be seen when they come The rusted and mottled look is a stark contrast.
The same thing is that the station is still dead, and there is no trace of popularity.
Unspeakably depressing.
Shen Qingcheng looked at the gray sky in the distance, "How many days did you wake up?"
Lan Xiuer said, "The seventh day."
She was not embarrassed, and described the situation in the illusion truthfully, "I sat in the front row after the train arrived at the station on the seventh day. According to the rules, I should be the first person to get off the train to clear customs, But you also know my situation."
She smiled shyly, "I bring Doudou, for fear of getting into trouble, so I can keep a low profile if I can."
" After so many dungeons, I always pass the customs directly after rubbing other people's customs. Although I also thought about whether I could be the first person to clear the customs one day, but what really happened to me I actually found it more ridiculous than happy.”
Lan Xiuer was suddenly pulled into a horror game when she went to see her little nephew at her sister's house. After the initial panic, she quickly calmed down after she understood the rules of the game.
She is a strong person herself, and likes to be the first in everything, but because of Doudou's existence, she has always told herself to keep a low profile in everything and never be strong.
After so many dungeons, she is used to rubbing others to pass the level, although the reward is not much, but the better is safety, this time she suddenly found out that she was the first to clear the level, how could she not think much.
Lin Wen nodded and comforted her, "It's right to be cautious."
The situation of Lin Wen and Liu Shi'an is similar to that of Lan Xiu'er. They both yearn in the bottom of their hearts but rationally know that something impossible will happen to them. They are not blind people. Not right.
One of Lin Wen and Liu Shian was sober on the sixth day, and the other was on the fifth day.
Shen Qingcheng: "…"
He shamelessly said that I was the exact opposite of you, your reason told you that it was wrong, and I was subconsciously told me that it was abnormal.
After all, in Shen Qingcheng's cognition, how could his blood fail!
He then looked at Lu Qi expectantly, "Lu Qi, what day are you in?" With so many people proofing, Lu Qi should reveal something?
Lu Qi glanced at him and asked calmly, "Want to know?"
Shen Qingcheng answered confidently, "Ang."
Lu Qi retracted his gaze, not squint.
He lifted his foot onto the road he left, his back was tall and straight, his legs were slender and strong, and a slightly cold voice came from his mouth.
"Day 1."
Not only Shen Qingcheng, but everyone who heard this answer showed expressions of surprise and admiration.
They experienced the reality of the illusion firsthand, and knew how difficult it was to wake up from it, but Lu Qi was able to wake up on the first day, the first day!
In addition to being shocked, Shen Qingcheng also had a little doubt about his image in Lu Qi's heart.
What does Lu Qi think of him? In Lu Qi's heart, I am so scary?
What an outrageous thing he did to wake people up on the first day!
Shen Qingcheng was indignant, he felt that it was necessary to find an opportunity to discuss with Lu Qi who he was.
Dive deeper!
Shen Qingcheng walked side by side with the man, and said in a serious tone: "Lu Qi, about the fact that you woke up from the illusion because of me on the first day, I think it is necessary for us to talk about it. ."
Lu Qi retorted warmly, his voice low, "It's not a wake up call."
The luggage was dragging on the concrete road, and the rollers made a rattling sound.
Shen Qingcheng didn't hear clearly, "What?"
Lu Qi restrained his emotions and said lightly, "Nothing, I'll talk about it later."
Shen Qingcheng glanced at the three people who came up behind him, and secretly told himself that when this dungeon was over, he had to ask Lu Qi when he returned to the game space.
Also, he's going to Lu Qi's personal game space!
…
When they first entered the dungeon, there was a station in front of the players, and there was only an endless wilderness behind them.
When they broke free from the illusion and came out of the station, a concrete road appeared in the wilderness.
At this time, Shen Qingcheng and the others were walking on this only road leading to the outside world.
Walking, Shen Qingcheng suddenly stopped and said, "Wait!"
Lin Wen behind them were startled, the three secretly raised their vigilance, Lin Wen asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Qingcheng saw them on high alert, "Don't be nervous, I didn't see any danger."
When a few people relaxed, he squatted down and brushed away the half-person-high grass by the roadside, revealing a ridge that was slightly higher than other places.
Shen Qingcheng: "This is abandoned farmland."
Lu Qi: "Is there a problem?"
Shen Qingcheng emphasized, "This is abandoned farmland!"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that Lu Qi was sober on the first day, and he didn't reach the midpoint, and naturally he never saw a large field and scarecrow.
He explained the situation to Lu Qi, Lu Qi raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and said, "There is no scarecrow here."
The others were a little worried. There were different situations in reality and fantasy, and they didn't know what they would encounter next.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Qi asked, "The train stopped at a stop before arriving at the terminal?"
Lan Xiuer nodded, "Yes, the middle station, the middle one is called the Bell Tower Station."
Shen Qingcheng remembered, "But the electronic screen on the station wall shows that the next stop at Fengshan South Station is Tu Wenshan!"
The next stop at Fengshan South Station is the final station, Tu Wenshan. Where did the Bell Tower Station come from?
At this time, Lu Qi said, "If I guessed correctly, the end of the road should be the town you met."
Lu Qi is right, there is indeed a small town at the end of the road, but it is not called Zhonglou Town, but Fengshan.
Around four o'clock in the afternoon, a road sign appeared on the road where Shen Qingcheng and others were advancing. It read "Fengshan Town, 500m ahead" in white letters on a blue background.
The contours of the high and low buildings are hidden in the thick fog in the distance, looming and visible, exactly like the Bell Tower Town in the fantasy.
It turned out that there was no Bell Tower Station from beginning to end, only Fengshan South Station and Fengshan Town. They thought they took the train to the next station, but they were actually here from beginning to end.
Shen Qingcheng smelled the familiar smell of burning paper money, "I suspect those scarecrows are all in town, everyone be careful."
From the little contact with the residents of the town, the town is very exclusive, and they are always right to be careful.
Lan Xiu'er and Liu Shi'an didn't get off the bus at that time because of their children and their health. They nodded to show their understanding.
They crossed the street sign and walked into the area of Fengshan Town.
The street signs with white characters on a blue background behind a few people suddenly bleed, one bend, two bends, three bends, two short and one long.
The eyes are bent down and the corners of the mouth are raised, which is a big smile.
…
As everyone stepped deeper into the town, they gradually heard a strange sound in their ears.
The voice was lengthened, it drifted in the air intermittently, and it sounded very strange.
Shen Qingcheng: "It's grief."
He looked up at the tallest building in the mist. Although it was not Bell Tower Town, the Bell Tower was still there.
I wonder if a large number of townspeople are still holding funerals in front of the clock tower?
He asked Lu Qi, "Where are we going to find the key?"
Lu Qi: "In the government building there is information about the construction of the railway station."
Shen Qingcheng thought about it carefully, in the fantasy, he and Lu Qi went directly to the clock tower behind the townspeople, and really didn't pay attention to where the town government was.
He looked at Lin Wen, who was the only one who had been to the town, as if asking.
Lin Wen smiled wryly and shook his head, "I didn't pay attention at that time. As soon as I entered the town, the townspeople found out and drove out."
Then take your time.
The town is not big, but it will take at least an hour or two to find it in a general area.
Click. blah blah. blah blah blah…
The sound of a bamboo pole hitting the ground in the mournful music was vague, making Lin Wen and Lan Xiuer who were discussing what to do next couldn't help but be stunned.
Shen Qingcheng was too familiar with this voice. The last time he heard this voice was in the middle of the night when two players violated the rules in the illusion.
He made a decisive decision and said, "Hide first!" After that, he pulled Lu Qi and got into the building with the open door behind him.
The building has two floors, the first floor is a small shop, and the second floor is the owner's residence.
Five adults and a cub on his back went to the second floor. Out of professional habit, Lu Qi locked the door and went to check the other rooms first.
When Lu Qi came out of the bedroom, Shen Qingcheng was standing in front of the living room window, pulling the curtains to carefully observe the situation downstairs.
The street downstairs is already crowded with "people", some of these "people" are holding braziers burning paper money, some holding white flags, some holding wreaths, some Paper money is thrown into the air.
They are all wearing empty white mourning clothes, and under the white three-cornered hats are uniform weird smiling faces.
These "people" jumped and danced across the street, except for the dense "click" sound, there was no other movement.
Shen Qingcheng saw Jinda inside.
He moved a little bit so that Lu Qi, who came by, could see the silent and frightening scene downstairs, and asked in a low voice, "If this is a funeral, why didn't you see the coffin?"
Lu Qi: "Bell Tower?"
Shen Qingcheng thought for a while, "There is no illusion in the realm, I don't know if the reality is the same."
Lu Qi opened his lips, and was about to say that he could go to the clock tower after going to the government building, when suddenly his expression froze, and a long black knife appeared in his hand.
Everyone didn't even see his movements clearly. When Lan Xiu'er came back to his senses, a tall and thin figure in white mourning clothes had been split in half.
The figure's body was broken in two from the shoulder to the waist. There was no blood on the wound, and it quickly turned into a yellow straw under everyone's attention. Only the smile on the face was still bright.
It turned out that when they were concentrating on observing the downstairs, this scarecrow appeared quietly at some point and stood behind Lan Xiuer who was at the back.
"Wow" The little brat who was frightened by the figure began to cry.
Shen Qingcheng found that the dense and terrifying "click" sound in his ears stopped.
