Yunyang's hands clenched and unclenched, and then clenched and unclenched again.

He tried hard to recall the scene of the meeting in Renchu ​​Town on the first day.

He remembered every word the mayor said clearly, and his entire day's movements were also vividly remembered.

The only thing I didn’t find was the so-called clue to leave Renchu ​​Town.

However, along the way, Ren Ming and Lin Wan'er did inadvertently reveal their familiarity with the rules of Renchu ​​Town.

Those are the rules they filled in with their lives.

Think about it, if the clue was given on the first day, why hasn’t he discovered it yet?

How many people died in seven days!

Panicked crowds, sudden changes in identities, man-eating fish monsters, clues to the true nature of Renchu ​​Town...

"Don't dwell on it."

Ren Ming's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"You don't understand the ghost cave, so it's understandable that you didn't notice the information."

“We can think through the details of the day together.”

The voice as calm as water soothed Yunyang's tense nerves.

He adjusted his sitting position, and his stiff body made a crisp clicking sound.

When I looked up again, the other person's expression had returned to calm.

"If you have any questions, just ask. I will tell you everything I know."

Ren Ming shook his head. Too strong a sense of responsibility could easily drive oneself crazy.

No matter how strong your willpower is, it takes time to adjust your mindset.

I believe that after today, he will have plenty of time.

Time passed as the two of them asked and answered each other.

During this period, Ren Ming deeply realized how much the other party had done in seven days.

It can be said that the workload has reached the point where he can't sleep.

"Okay, I have no more questions."

Ren Ming moved his wrist and spoke to end the conversation.

"According to the information you provided, the way to leave the ghost den we are in is to find a specific location."

"I have three suspicions about this. Do you want to deduce them with me?"

Yun Yang's mouth was dry from talking, but he still sat up straight after hearing this: "I'm all ears."

"The first one is Renchu ​​Town under the sea."

"You left Renchu ​​Town on land before, but the time you left through the main gate was the longest time you escaped."

Ren Ming analyzed it with him in detail.

Yunyang nodded seriously.

That's right, if everyone hadn't given up voluntarily, they might have been wandering in the woods outside the town until now.

He did venture into the sea and saw the underwater town, but he never tried to leave.

"But the seabed is extremely dangerous for ordinary people. If they are carried out by the rising tide, they will be eaten to the bone by monsters in less than ten minutes!"

If you want to leave from the bottom of the sea, I guess only a few extraordinary people can do it.

Ren Ming said calmly: "There is a second option - the church."

"It's obvious that Renchu ​​Town attaches great importance to the church. The place where you held the meeting was also in the church."

"It's obviously an important hub in the ghost den."

Yunyang nodded in agreement again.

There are good reasons for this, as the church has the tightest security in town and the most important supply of holy water.

It would be unacceptable if there is no hidden identity.

"But the church is a place we go every day, and we are familiar with every relief there."

They also dug a number of holes near the church, basically ruling out the possibility that the church has tunnels.

If the church really had secret rooms, secret passages, mechanisms or something.

I hadn't discovered it before, and even if I look for it now, I won't get any results in a short time.

"There's one last option."

Ren Ming stood up and walked to the window, looking at the red brick building in front of him with determination.

"A slaughterhouse by the sea."

Hearing the other party's decisive tone, Yunyang couldn't help but stand up.

It was obvious that the person in front of me preferred the third option the most.

The first two are just options used by the opponent to ensure a minimum number.

Yunyang couldn't understand.

"Why? How do you know?"

It's a slaughterhouse.

It would be better to include the food processing plants that supply food to the town every day.

Ren Ming smiled defiantly.

"At the town meeting on the first day, you met the butcher who owns the slaughterhouse."

"And after that, it was pretty easy to get the information about fish eating people, right? You also managed to figure out that slaughterhouses are used to process 'humans and livestock'."

"Everything happened by sheer luck on that chaotic first day."

In the ghost den, there are spies of evil spirits everywhere, so there are no so many "coincidences" or "good luck".

Since Renchu ​​Town is a large-scale human breeding farm, their way out will not be much different from that of pigs.

The place where the pigs go after being slaughtered is the exit.

"In seven days, you explored almost every part of the town, but you knew very little about the slaughterhouse."

"That's because half of the slaughterhouse is built on water, which is equivalent to the boundary between land and deep sea."

Yunyang argued.

"There are always unruly underwater townspeople who hide quietly inside and eat the unprocessed human flesh."

If they approached there, they would be like lambs walking into the tiger's mouth.

Once they reach the sea, the fish monster can hunt them day and night.

They had been asking for trouble in the past.

Ren Ming scoffed, "Perhaps they are not greedy, but disguised slaughterhouse guards."

He just pretended to be greedy, drooling at the human townspeople on the coast, and changed shifts extremely frequently.

That gave them this illusion.

"You haven't been dragged in like pigs during the day, have you? The 'meatmen' in the slaughterhouse are all townspeople captured at night."

The dead townspeople naturally cannot escape the ghost den.

Human pride and empathy.

Let them be very attentive to slaughterhouses, and disgusted with them, and with the monsters that feast therein.

But I am unwilling to accept being compared to a pig, and I don't want to get too close to it from the bottom of my heart.

The exit design must be insidious enough to be best hidden.

Yunyang held his head in his hands and paced back and forth.

His breathing became rapid, and his thoughts began to waver.

But it's easy to explain.

"That's because there are certain standards to become a pig, and only those who meet the requirements will be caught."

"Everyone knows about this, so of course they will try to control their diet in order to survive."

"Standards? Standards without specific requirements?" Ren Ming asked back.

From beginning to end, he only heard Yunyang mention it once.

The selection of butchers is the same as that of pigs, different pig farmers have different standards.

Some can be slaughtered at 200 kilograms, while others cannot be slaughtered at 500 kilograms.

As long as they are no fatter than when they first arrived, they are safe.

"Where did you learn the standard? From which ghost? From the very beginning of the first day?"

"Can you guarantee that it's not lying or hiding information?"

Ren Ming bombarded Yunyang with questions like a string of cannonballs.

A thunderclap sounded in Yunyang's mind.

Yeah, who told him?

Why have we never seen a flesh man being caught, but are so sure that this rule exists?
