Chapter 170 Please close your eyes when it gets dark 4
Immediately afterwards,
An even more mournful cry sounded, which made people's hearts tremble.
Everyone was lying on the bed quietly, but their clenched fists, pursed lips, and cold sweat on their foreheads revealed everyone's fear.
Bai Xi remained awake, feeling panicked. She swallowed secretly, turned to the left, faced the window, and protected her unsuspecting back.
Bai Xi dared not open her eyes because she felt that there was a gaze looking at her outside the window, but she could not feel the actual existence of that gaze.
Damn it!
What kind of monster is this game?
The transparent person in the last round of the game, at least she can still feel its existence through space, but this round she doesn’t even have a sense of spatial existence.
How fucking awesome is this?
The quiet night is accompanied by shrill screams and cries from far or near, which is frightening and terrifying.
On the third day of the game, the survival rate is 99%.
It's finally dawn.
After a long night of suffering, everyone was a little depressed and their faces turned pale. Bai Xi also had two big panda glasses on her face.
"Did you see it?"
"I saw it. Oh my god, it was such a tragic death."
"He must have gone out last night, let me tell you! There must be a reason for the custom passed down from our ancestors."
As soon as I walked out of the door, I heard panicked comments from people outside.
Outside a residence not far away, a villager died. It should be the scream they heard last night.
Bai Xi took a closer look and saw that the man's pupils were dilated, his eyes were wide open, and his mouth was wide open, with an extremely frightened expression.
A man wearing a cyan shirt squatted next to the body and looked at it.
"The clothes are neat, there are no obvious injuries, and there are no signs of struggle.
There are bruises and slight scratches on the legs, and there are traces of blood on the corners of the benches in the room. They should have been accidentally bruised while running away in panic.
He should have been scared to death."
The man gave his judgment, and the tourists immediately exploded.
"Is your village really haunted?"
"Did you hear the crying last night? It was so scary, coming one after another."
"I don't know who he is? He cried so miserably and kept shouting in pain."
The reaction of the villagers was also great.
"Jiang Zhong is so courageous. Is it okay now? He got himself involved."
"I just told you to listen to the words of our ancestors. Jiang Zhong just doesn't believe it. Why bother if your life is in vain?"
"Do you know what happened to Jiang Zhong?" someone asked.
"Every year during the Ghost Festival, Jiang Zhong never abides by the rules and doesn't sleep. He just stays in the house and drinks.
The day before yesterday, he asked Gao Hu for a large jar of purple wine. Unexpectedly, this time, he would meet his ancestor who came back for revenge."
"How do you know they are from the village?" the tourist asked curiously.
"We are the only village nearby. Whether those lying on the mountain or buried under the mountain, they are all from our village."
"Don't worry, as long as you sleep peacefully at night and ignore the noise, you'll be fine."
"Is there no one else in his family?" Bai Xi asked. There were so many people gathered around, but no one was sad for Jiang Zhong.
"Jiang Zhong's wife ran away 20 years ago, and his son is working outside. He is the only one at home."
"It's better to inform the village chief quickly!"
One person died, and everyone was a little scared, but the news that came later made the whole village excited.
Jiang Zhong was not the only one who died last night, but also eight other villagers.
Nine corpses were arranged in a row and placed in the open space outside the village, and everyone showed fear.
Bai Xi knew that this was just the beginning, and people would continue to die in the following nights, and more and more people would die.
The tourists and the expedition team panicked and hurriedly called the police, but there was no signal at all in the village.
"What's going on? Why is there no signal?"
Cheng Li looked panicked and called the police over and over again.
Others also took out their mobile phones and tried to make calls, but to no avail.
"My mobile phone has no signal either."
"It's impossible to fight out. There was still a signal when we came!"
"How could this happen? Are we all going to die here?"
The crowd became more and more agitated. Tourists and members of the expedition team were all clamoring to leave, and panic was spreading quietly.
"Please don't worry!
Our village is relatively remote, and sometimes there is indeed no signal.
If everyone is in a hurry, I will arrange for someone to take you away later to a nearby town. There will definitely be a signal in the town."
Seeing that the crowd was getting more and more restless, the village chief hurriedly came out to calm them down.
"When is the waiting time? Give a specific time."
"We will set off in an hour and we can reach the town before dark."
"Then it's settled, let's go back and pack our things."
Seven or eight people left to pack their things, but Professor Lin and a few students chose to stay. He still had unfinished research tasks.
The few tourists who liked sketching also chose to stay, and there were two others who seemed to be exploring the wild.
The village chief said to the young people around him: "Take a few people and send them to the town. If there is a signal, call the police immediately."
The young man nodded and left. The village chief turned to look at the villagers. The family members of the deceased were crying quietly in the crowd, and their eyes were swollen from crying.
"Everyone, go back! You can't be resurrected after death, so you have to be more cautious in the future." The village chief looked at everyone and sighed.
The few hundred people dispersed quickly, and the family members of the deceased stayed behind to prepare for the burial.
Bai Xi was also about to leave. When passing by, he accidentally touched the feet of a deceased person.
The next second, mission information appeared in front of Bai Xi.
[Hidden mission: The cause of death remains a mystery
Congratulations to the player for triggering this round of hidden tasks, please find the cause of death of these 9 aborigines.
Mission reward: one unlimited lottery]
The first mission is finally here.
After reading the mission information, Bai Xi realized something was wrong.
The man in blue just said that Jiang Zhong was frightened to death. The others died in the same manner as Jiang Zhong, and the cause of death should be the same.
But now that the game has this mission, it means that they were not scared to death. In other words, in this round of the game, the real key to killing has not yet been found.
And why is the first mission of this round of the game a hidden mission?
Are there no side quests?
[Please let players know,
Side tasks and hidden tasks are comprehensively determined by the game based on the task situation and the player's situation, and are not absolute.
The main survival mission is a mandatory mission.]
Okay!
Putting away the game information, Bai Xi joined the aftermath team to help out a little and collect some information.
According to the village's custom, a person who dies under mysterious circumstances must be buried for three days and must be saved by the village elders before being buried.
With the lessons learned last night, everything has been moved to the daytime, and everyone is so busy that they can’t even touch the ground.
Bai Xi also ran around and was so tired that she was sweating profusely, but she still gained something.
These nine deceased people all have one thing in common.
Chapter completed!
